Hey I'm wondering if I can refrain my guest account to access certain apps and programs in my computer. My room mate always uses my computer to do his assignment (and he listens my MP3 too!! :( ) Is there anyway I can do it? By the way I'm using WinXP Pro with a FAT32 Partition. And can you guys please recommend me with some good desktop computer lock? I mean like those cable lock.

you can put a password on your user account and set up a account for him. check out www.tweakxp.com might be something there as well

I set up an account for him, a guest account and i'm putting a password on my account. I just wanna make sure that the guest account that he is using can't be able to access some of my programs. i tried logging on as a guest but still i get to use most of the programs.

if you log in as administrator, you can right click on the folders you choose not to be used and disable permissions found in the security tab.
