administation settings

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admin (More info?)

I want to turn off my guest sign in settings for my computer. I am running
windows XP. How do I do this? Aslo i would like to not allow all the desk
top icons i have as an administrator to the other people on my computer. How
would I do this. For example I dont want my 10 year old son to see Yahoo
messenger on his desktop when he is logged on.

To turn the guest account on or off

Make sure that all of your icons are in >>

C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name Here\Desktop

and not in >>

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop

Everyone who logs on sees...

C:\Documents and Settings\Their Name Here
and
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users
