Hey all

did some searching but have not found anything very clear.

i simply need to set up a guest account on a windows 2003 server box - this account i more or less only want to give full access to 3 or 4 programs , IE and Outlook that is it.

i do not want them to be able to install any programs or chang any settings.

I tried one way of this but seems it was the long way - anyone suggest the best way to do this?

thnx in advance

A local account or Domain account?

Local account. (dam u fast!)

Wouldn't this basically be a power user account or what ever MS is calling it in .NET ?!?

Looks like you'll want to use the Local Security Settings under Admin Tools. Look for Software Restriction Policies.

YOu have to use Group policy to restrict the use of programs

I would just hide everything on the Desktop that you could

Unless they know where to find the programs

So is this where you would make this user a member of a group, say the power users group, then restrict the usage of this group on the local machine ?!?
