Deny Software installation

XP Pro



Can anyone tell me how to "Disallow" software installation for the "Guest"
account?



Right now the "Guest" account can install software, they just get the
warning box "install program as other user" and they can go ahead and
install the application without logging in as an "Administrator".



I want to setup the machine so NO software period can be installed by the
"Guest" account, weather they know an administrator logon or not.



Thanks,



John Barnes

Is there a password on the "other account"? May want to check the default
Administrator account for the existence of a password too.
