Ok, so you want to setup a user with limited acces on your PC
You are using NTFS which is the real solution here.
If you have 1 drive in your PC, then great! Else, repeat these steps for
each hard drive
Right click on C drive, goto properties and select Security. Add his
account and yours.
Make sure your account as FULL acces to everything else you can lock youself
out!
Remove Everyone
Change his account so that he has access to everything but is unable to make
modifications (Virtually read only)
Apply this change to Every file, folder and subfolder so that it will affect
everything on your PC
You will need to watch be careful here as now he is strictly read only and
windows can not update his settings from here on out. I do not know what
the impact is from doing this as it is a rather broad and extreme way to
limit access.
My other suggestion would be to change his profile to a mandatory profile so
that any work he does will dissapear after he logs off. I have not worked
with mandatory profiles enough to know what the user can and can not save so
this may not be your solution either.
You can also use a GPO but this does affect everyone on that machine. You
can block yourself out as well unless you know how to remove the local GPO
Then there are 3rd party utils to secure per user but I do not know of any
tools off hand
