Re: Limited accounts in XP

I don't understand why the kids can't play their games under a limited
account.
Do they have shortcuts to the games?

I was just wondering. Are there only 2 different options regarding accounts
in windows? I'm used tp the UNIX/Linux choices where you can have a trillion
choices over this matter but in windows I have only 2?? My problem concists
of this...

2 children are using this computer as a game computer but I also use this
for my personal needs such as email and documents from work etc. The real
problem is when the kids are going to play stuff thats not webbased because
then they have to log on to my account which gets me kind off itchy since I
have alot of personal stuff that I dont want to loose on this computer.

Its fine by me that only I can install applications but I'd prefer if the
kids could play in their own "limited account". Whit this I mean CD-Rom
games and so on.

So how do I do?

I run XP Pro edition SP2.

Really greatful for your help. :-)
