You do realize that a member of theGuestsgroup, or the Guest
account itself, is effectively a member of the Users group when
used for a machine local login (if things are left at install defaults,
and if not then last I checked the login fails).
Why can you not accomplish your objective by having all inGuests, and then segmenting those such that each is also in one
of a number of custom groups used to identify which category
ofGuestsmembers?
As with all groups, finding where they are used is a matter of
exhaustive examination of all possible resources.

I'd like to create a group in 2000/XP that basically mirrors the
Guestsgroup. Ideally I'd like to copy theGuestsgroup directly, but
assuming that's not doable...

How do you determine the permissions that are assigned to theGuests
group?

Assuming you had that set of permissions, is there a way to
programmatically assign them to a new group?

The Guests group has the exact permissions that I'm looking for:
can't install applications or change any settings. But Windows
deletes the user profile of members of the Guests group after each
login. I don't think there is a way to prevent that deletion, so I
want to create my own Guests group.

I'd like to create a basic user with Interactive and Authenticated
User permissions and that's about it.
