Limited Users/Accounts

S

Sergio D. Caplan

I know that in XP and 2000 you can create a Limited User Account, and have
two questions with regards to this.

A> With a limited account, can I make it so that someone cannot change the
ScreenSaver?

B> Microsoft says that some apps may not run properly on "limited accounts"
can I assume that this is really messy since the manufacturer themselves are
saying so?

Thanks ahead, as always....

Hi,

A) With XP Pro, you can limit the user's option with the group policy editor
(start/run gpedit.msc). There is also a Security Console utility from MVP
Doug Knox that can limit a user's options, you can find it in the WinXP
Utilities at www.dougknox.com

B) Some Programs Do Not Work If You Log On from Limited Account [Q307091]
