Hi Luis,

To limit the user rights, you can do the following:

1. Right-Click on My Computer and select Manage.
2. In the navigation bar expand Local Users and Groups.
3. Select Users.
4. Right-Click the rugrat account and select Properties.
5. Select the Member Of tab.
6. Click Add, and select the Guests group from the list, and click Okay.
7. From the Member Of list, select Administrators (or Users, or both) and
click Remove, until Guests is the only group listed.
8. Click Okay and close Computer Management.

I hope this helps!

Mitch
