Creating Profiles in XP Home....

[Paul]

Hello. I just purchased XP home and I want to set up a
profile for my kids so that they can only access certain
programs from the start menu. I created an account and
set it to limited user but all the programs show up in
their startup menu. When I go and delete the programs it
says that this will effect all users. How can I overcome
this so that I keep all the programs on my account but my
kids don't have access to them.

Thanks in advance.
