Limiting Guest Account
Is there any way to prevent users of the guest account in XP Home from getting to things like the display properties and the control panel?

Little thing called permissions, though the specific permission for denying access to the control panel (and everything in it) is only available through gpedit.msc, which I do believe the XP Home version does not have.

Yes Dragon, you're correct. XP Pro has the Group Edit (gpedit.msc) feature, while XP Home does not.

Doesn't, by default, Home disallow any changes unless you are logged on as the Admin?

I have a guest account and it allows access to almost everything such as the control panel, display properties, program files, etc. I don't want that. I guess if XP Home won't allow me to change that I will just have to watch guests closely.

Have you actually tried to change anything (as in I'm just curious)? I haven't played with it much, but the few things I have "access" to on the box with Home on it won't allow changes without being logged on as the Admin. Heck, I can't even download antivirus defs logged on as non-admin...
