help with computer accounts (windows XP)?

Question

this is actually 2 questions

1. how do I make it so a limited user account cannot delete the cookies or have access to the internet w/o affecting the main account

2. how do I get the windows XP login page (right now I have a little box on a black background that I have to manully put the account name into)

Answer 1

(1) --- Start > Control Panel > User Accounts ---- from here you can set up a guest account for all others to use your computer.A guest account has no power to make changes. On your "administrator" account that only you use --- put in a "password protected" code. This way -- they can not simply log off the guest account and get into your computer via your account without the password.
(2) While in user accounts --- click on "change the way users log on / off". Here you can either tic a box , or not to make changes.
(3) You might wish to > left click(open) on Start > Properties --- then select your startup menu by a box tic -- then Apply.

Answer 2

If I understand what you're saying, then, what you could do for the first question is, create a very limited userid that is autologged at signon. For this, to get to the logon for the "master" (empowered) userid, you'd go through clicking Start then Logoff then really quickly during the about-to-logon pres Ctrl+Alt+Del to allow the "master" userid to appear in the logon list along with the limited userid. (Remember the password for both!)

For the second question, it would be kind of tricky to limit write-access to the cookies so that the limited user could create cookies without being able to erase them...It might be a matter of, creating a "master" gmail account, keeping its password secret, and letting it store SOME cookies, but

neither of these steps would be foolproof as the person to whom you're doing this will probably read this Answer.
