Hi i have a pc running XP and have just created a new account for my daughter giving her limited access as she needs to use the internet and word.Is there a way to take the startup menu away so she cant access my files and programs?

 

You could try this might help ???

To configure the settings for the Programs list, follow these steps:
1. Right-click an empty area in the Start menu and select Properties.
2. Click Customize.
3. Configuration options for the Programs list are on the General tab.
The right side of the Start menu displays links to special folders (My Documents, My Pictures, My Music) and system areas (My Computer, Search, Control Panel). To configure this area, follow these steps:
1. Right-click an empty area in the Start menu and click Properties.
2. Click Customize.
3. Configuration options for the right side of the Start menu are on the Advanced tab.

 

Thanks ,still have the All programs button on the start menu though any idea how to disable it on my daughters account?

 

I *think* the TweakUI powertoy from Microsoft may have some of this stuff in it, I can't confirm though as it won't install on Vista.

Also -and this his won't help you now obviously- but Vista has some awesome parental control stuff in it right down to allowing particular applications and times of logon etc...

 

Is it possible to take the option of the start menu foir show all programs for a user account?
