roaming profiles if in a win2k domain with active directory

or create a custom account on the machine

via group policy on the local machine

start run gpedit.msc

and im sure theres limitations on changes user can make to registry

as in guest user does not save settings on exit

u can create a new user and associate gpedit customised policy with it
