XP power users, accounts in general.

I want to have different accounts on an XP machine, admin as myself can do anything, and another user, which can only run basic apps (notepad and calc for example), as well as WinAmp, KaZaA, and Mediaplayer, but not other *.exe's downloaded (off KaZaA or the internet). How can I do this?

Only works on XP Pro. XP Home has account creation / different account privileges stripped out of it. On XP Pro, go to start, run, type in "lusrmgr.msc". The dialogues that come up are self explanatory at that point. Create a new user, remove admin rights, and assign to the "user" group. You do not want to use Power User because the group still has privileges to install .exe. That is pretty much it. If there is a program that doesn't work under the user account, then you have to play with permission settings in file security and permissions (be sure to turn of simple file sharing in the tools, options, view menu)
