Im wondering how or if at all, that you can limit the guest account, so that
it cant access the hard drive at all. So pretty much only enable it to access
the programs I put on the desktop/star menu?

Also even when my admin account has a password protecting it, the guest
account can still access my documents through c:\documents and
settings\admin\my documents. Shouldnt this require a password??

Thanks

Why are you using the guest account in the first place? If you have "guests"
using your machine, create a Limited User account (call it "visitor" or
something) and disable the guest account.
