Hi i was just wondering if it was at all possible to edit what programs and
folders can be viewed in the guest profile. An example would be that i want
to remove the use of the control panel and edit the file menu system for
internet explorer. Any suggestions would be really helpful. Thanks in advance.

The Guest account is a special system account not meant for when you are
feeling hospitable. It is usually disabled in professional operating
systems for security purposes. Instead, make a new user account for
visitors and set it up the way you want. If you have XP Pro, you can
set very fine-grained permissions. If you have XP Home, look at either
Doug Knox's Security Console or the new Microsoft Shared Computer
Toolkit.
