Hi, I want to create a limited user account that will allow that user to see
only programs and files that I want them to see. I have created a limited
account, but how do I control exactly what they see and have access to?
Basically, I want them to see an empty desktop with only one program and only
one folder from My Documents. How do I do this? Thank you in advance for
your help.

For the amount of control you want to have, the Microsoft Shared
Computer Toolkit might fit your needs if you have Home Edition. If you
have Pro, use Group Policy.

For questions about Group Policy, post in this newsgroup:
