Limiting user rights on a system.
Hello All~

Long time no post! Here's the deal, which involves my little brother again... We bought him a new laptop for college. Of course - I am the one who got picked to get everything with it in working order.

I want to be able to restrict him from installing any application to to the laptop. I don't want to allow him any access to flash games or any poker games since that is all he does ever, and this laptop is not meant for him to play games - but to aid him in his college studies.

Currently, he is set up with admin rights since that is the account I installed everything under... I ended up setting myself up under the administrator account.

So the question is - how would I go about limiting his privileges to only using the computer and not install any applications and prevent him from playing any online games (typically the flash games - while allowing flash to be supported to load up for flash based websites - if possible) since any installable game would be prevented since it falls in with the category of installing programs?

Thanks in advance for all of your helpful tips!

[Edit] Forgot the most important part - he is running WindowsXP Pro with SP2...[/Edit]

Best,
-SlickVic78
