Can someone tell me step by step how to set the guest account in XP like the one in 2000, so every time you log out it resets EVERYTHING in the account... But I only want that on the Guest Account... Is it possible? Thanks
Also, How can I set Each account to start up with different things? Like if I want to surf the internet fast, ill log on to guest with nothing starting up so it'l be fast...
they must have changed it since then, because when i first enabled the guest account, i set up wallpapers, colours... saved a few files....... and they are still there today
he wants the guest account in XP to be like the one in 2000...... i tried guest account in 2000 last night, changed colours, walpapers..... download some crap.... logged out, it was gone....
XP's doesn't do that... i think its somthing with the security policy.... i dunno i never looked in to it
yeah thats what you want... look through there and see if its in there.......
i haven't looked through the whole thing yet... but theres a "Don't Save Settings on Exit" that sounds to me like what you want
"Prevents users from saving certain changes to the desktop.
If you enable this policy, users can change the desktop, but some changes, such as the position of open windows or the size and position of the taskbar, are not saved when users log off. However, shortcuts placed on the desktop are always saved."
Sort of off topic but there's software called "DeepFreeze" which makes a image of the hard drive, and reloads it upon the start of Windows unless disabled before shutdown/restart. Thus this would only work if it were for a whole computer.
I suppose it'd be effective at ridding of viruses too.

hes talking about having the settings in the guest account reset to default after they log off, right?
in which case i have no idea how to do that and would also like to know...

i have changed the wallpaper and colours of the guest account in XP and the settings are retained.....
i don't know about 2000 cause i never have had the guest account enabled on 2000
and it doesn't take that long..... in fact it takes less time then logging in to my normal account
hmm check this out: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assis ... 01033.aspx
i don't have time to right now, give it a look-see and see if its what you want
*Windows to delete downloaded files such as .exe's, temps, history, cache, saved passwords, etc.
*Windows to revert EVERY setting the Guest user changed such as Wallpaper, Icon Locations, etc.
*Windows to do this every time the user logs off.
That's What I need
