Setting user rights? HELP PLEASE

[Mike Rathbun]

I want to keep my kids from viewing hidden files or deleting files. How do
I set this user right?

I am running Winxp pro, on single PC.

Admin users can do anything. Limited users cannot change system files. There
are also Permissions characteristics you can control, like read only, or
modification rights.
