I have a computer I am giving to a coworker, who is a Scoutmaster and he in turn is going to give it to one of his Scouts. Anyway. I have XP Home setup to where it's an Aministrator and the user {unknown name}. I would like to have it so that the "user" has no use of programs other than ones they will specifically need, I have designated the "user account" as Limited. A thought that reclaimed my thought, the HDD is FAT32 - an old 10GB (yes that's right, no typo!) Should I reformat it to NTFS?

Thank you in advance for assistance!!

I went to Microsoft for support and according to them I am going to get charged. Any ideas on restricting access to programs for "users"? I found something at another site, but that left to many holes in the description and ultimately failed.

the M$ Shared Computer Toolkit. Lucky I checked it is now called Windows Steady State. Here is a link to the download. It should do the trick for you.
