Creating a guest user on windows 7
« on: March 31, 2011, 09:25:26 AM »
Iv'e had it with all the sons of bitches sticking their nose in my computer, so I decided to make a guest user.
I don't know why I didn't do it before. Just now I saw some traces of poor attempts to find my "stuff", I removed my search box weeks ago but now it's back, not that they can find anything though ;) I just removed it because it's kinda stupid.

I wan't to make an extremely limited guest user. The whole package anything you can think of, no installing any software of any kind, no access to the control panel, anything.

Is that possible in Windows 7 Unlimited? If so, how?

I just remembered that windows steady state back in XP was able to limit access to the start menu and other stuff. that may be what you want. in that case

Precisely, I was looking for limitation ways. Heck, it would be nice if they can't even access "My Computer"

Take a look at gpedit.msc (just enter it in the run-command)

If you want to remove it's permissions:
Right click on the Hard Disk icon where your OS is installed on and click Properties.
Click the Security tab.
Click the Advanced tab.
Click  the Change Permissions button.
Select the user account you want to limit and click the Edit button.
Untick any permission you don't want the guest to have.

Because I feel like it.
