I'm sorry I forgot to mention that...
I am running Windows XP Pro SP2 with all the updates installed. It's a
single computer that I hope to have two or three accounts running on. The
administrator (unlimited access) and at least one other account. I want to
hide things like the system tools, control panel, and some various programs
so other user accounts cannot access the programs. I hope this helps, if you
need more information please let me know.
