Dan,

Was my concept of a "limited" user on XP Home wishful thinking?

I think all it stops is the ability to run normal setup/install type
programs.  I don't think it blocks the ability to create files.  So you can
still add programs which don't require a full install, and even create new
program groups or shortcuts if you want.

I could be wrong, but that was my understanding of it anyway.
