I have quite alot of stuff that I don't want my "new" 9 year old son
to have access to. When I set up the system I installed about
everything for " all users" never having given thought to marrying
someone with a son. I made a limited account for him but there still
is alot I'd like to not allow him to get at. Is there a central
point where I can change "access privileges" for all programs?

Thanx for any help,
Bob

Log in as administratr and remove all icons for porgrams you don't want him
to access in his Start Menu and desktop.

Thanx Gordon, I'm not sure where to disable access to all the programs
when he does a start>all programs. I deleted one and XP warned me
that it would delete for all users and by golly it did, for me as
admin. also. I have the desktop cleaned up. Using explorer there
doesn't seem to be much in the Keenans account being brand new, I
figured that's where I'd delete his access to programs and control
panel and such. If you have the time could you help me again? I'd
appreciate it.

You can set permissions for control panel and things by using Group
Policies - Go to Control Panel-Administration Tools-Local security policy
and have a browse through there.
