Hi,

I have a wireless setup at home with 3 computers. 1 for my home office, 1
shared for adults and kids and 1 laptop for my wife's work. I

Question: How do I configure my XP home edition software so the kids see
only their programs but not the "grownup" programs on the shared PC?
(Winows Accessories, Word, ewtc.)

Currently, I have all the Programs folder and sub folders hidden but if they
Explore the C drive, they can find them. This seems clumsy and I'm sure
there's a better way. (?)

Thanks,

Greg
