    Limiting Users in XP

    I have created a limited account, and i would like to know how to limit the user that is going to be using it. I need help with the following:
    1. What i need to do is prevent the user from installing anything on the computer.
    2. Is there a way to prevent the user from getting online and surfing websites. I only want to allow the person to check email on this machine.
    3. I am thinking about deleting IE, thinking that if there is no browser to browse sites, it will prevent the user from surfing the web. Is this a good idea? If so how do i get rid of IE, it doesnt seem to show up in the Add Remove programs.

    Thanks for all your help

    I'm not sure that you can, as it is a necessary part of Windows.
    Only Administrators can add or remove programs, and you could start a user up with only the email program, and logoff when it's done.
