Thanks :]Is there any way of setting user restrictions on Windows XP?
simply go in for starters when creating the account and make it limited , this will keep the user from downloading items to your pc ,
if you need more restrictions uoi need to go in and create ';groups '; the user has access to ,Is there any way of setting user restrictions on Windows XP?
it'll be in the options when you set it up
The administrator is the one who usually can have unrestricted access.
When you create your new user place restrictions on at that time.
Or password protect other areas.
Open Computer Manager %26gt; Users and Groups %26gt; Users and modify the rights here.
Probably just want them in the Users group for the PC.
If there are areas you want to restrict, remove the Users group from having access to it.
Go into User Profiles in the Control Panel, you can set up the options in there........you must be logged in with admin rights.
When you create another profile on Windows it automaticly sets limits. However, you can change the settings on a profile by logging into the master profile and going to Start, Settings, and Control Panel. Once your in Control Panel, you then click on User Profiles, and from there you can adjust settings to how you prefer. Good Luck.
Yes, there is a fairly easy way, often done by system administrators. Go to Control Panel, then click Users.
Then Create a new account. You will be given options as to the type of access your new account will have. Dont click administrator as the Admin account has full access, rather click limited account. This is a ';template'; account for limited access, or you can also define such things as Read only, no access, Read Write, etc.
Note that you need to have your account password protected or the other person could just enter your admin account and still do anything he/she wants.
Perhaps a better way to do this, however, because your computer will be a lot more secure, would be to back up your files, delete Windows, and install a good secure open source operating system like kubuntu at www.kubuntu.org. The reason for this is that Windows is pretty good at keeping YOUR family out of your computer but VERY, VERY lousy at keeping hackers all over the world out of your computer. For example there are 114,000 different viruses that infect exclusively Windows users, but do dont infect open source software. www.kubuntu.org
well, there are two different account types: system administrator, or limited. under control panel, user accounts, click the account and it will tell you some details about it, you can also change the details, for example, you could create passwords, change account types, ect. it will tell you what an administrator and limited account can and cannot do. You could also make your files private by right clicking on your documents under my computer and make it a private file under security. There is, however, no way to set customized restrictions like what you want to do.
Hello,
(ANS) Yes! you can set restrictions on any or all users through the use of Administrative templates or you can do a similar thing by using Group Policy editor tool. You would have to login as a full administrator inorder to set those conditions up, these tools are a part of the MS Active Directory. These can be applied to a single machine or used from a server and applied to an entire domain containing hundreds of PC's with XP.
**The restrictions you can permit or disallow can be quite fine grained (detailled) too. For example you can allow or remove the users ability to change or set the system clock or date,etc. You can allow or remove the run command from the start menu,etc.
**I think if my memory serves me you can add the administrative tools %26amp; admin templates to an MMC (microsoft managment) console which can only be accessed by the administrator.
**type MMC in a run command window, press return that should give you a blank MMC console then you have to add your desired snap-ins.
Hope that helps?
