I just building a computer a while back and until now I havn't needed to use so much security. I am going to college in a few and I am just worried about roomate ( or people I dont know) downloading stuff that will infect my computer, or going through my files. What I need is something that will let me have more control over the XP guest account other than the default setting, so no one can download and view/change thins I dont want them to. Ive been looking out there for a while now and I havn't found anything satisfying. I dont want to enter a password everytime I need to use a program too, so I suppose it should be limited to the Guest account. I dont want to be a "jerk" and not let my buddies use it but you know how all of us our with our computers :mrgreen: . Anyone know of any such software? Thanks for you help!

Jump to PostStart>Settings>Control Panel
Users and Passwords
then you should be able to increase security, set access, groups & passwords
or even remove guest as a user from XP entirely.....mmmm.. yummy Mc'd's is calling.. munchies soon..
but if your roomate has a knoppix boot disk they own …
Jump to Postrumor has it of a nice spot of downloadable code called 'delguest' for NT
run it under windows xp in compatibility mode for NT4these were the first things that popped up for 'delguest sownload' on google.
i cant vouch for em or the sites
