Help
Is there a way to turn off access to the Control Panel by secondary (Limited) user accounts ? My kids keep getting in there and changing things, I'd like to put a stop to this. I'm running Vista Home Premium 32 bit.
TIA

Windows Steady State has recently been updated to include Vista support. It's free from Microsoft here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/...ss/default.mspx
You'll access each account by clicking on it in the Steady State windows and then adjust that account's settings there.

You're welcome! I'm glad that it suits your needs - I've been waiting for the Vista version for an awful long time!
