Reestricting Access in Guest Account

[Guest]

Although the Guest Account is already 'Limited' how do I further restrict
access to other things such as 'My Computer', 'Control Panel', Display
Properties, Hard Drives and what not? I've tried running 'gpedit.msc' but it
won't let me run it under the Guest Account. Any help would be appreciated.

Don't use the guest account at all. In fact the Microsoft Baseline Security
Analyzer shows it as a security risk. Create a Limited User account, call it
"Visitor" or something similar if you want, and then you can customize it to
your heart's content........

Disable the Guest account. It is not meant to be used when you are feeling
hospitable. It is a system account that allows someone without an account
on the local computer to sit down and do some work. It runs with elevated
privileges and is therefore considered a security risk.

Instead, make a Limited user account and call it something like "Visitor".
Lock it down as desired.
