Hi all,
I have allow for set up some user (limited account) on my PC.
However I would like to prevent them from using internet or
printing to printer.
Is there any setting in XP pro which allows me to disable the
internet function or printer port when the specific user
log into my PC ?

Thanks
Syl

You may be able to accomplish this by using the Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) in XP Pro.
See the following website for information on all of the different settings that are available.

If this ends up being too complicated, take a look at the Security Console that MVP Doug Knox has. This program makes setting restrictions as easy as clicking an option.

Microsoft has a free package, Microsoft Shared Computer Toolkit, that
provides this capability and is customizable.
