I have a friend that uses there home computer for business purposes. Is
there a way to limit/restrict access to programs on a guest user profile.

By guest user profile do you mean the Guest account? If so FYI that should
not normally be used. It gives the user elevated privileges. Best to
disable that account and create another, limited user account for this
purpose. Call it visitor or something like that.

Restrictions are handled by permissions. See these links:
