The Guests group



I'm writing software that creates a user account with limited
privileges. Adding that user to the Guests group works perfectly for
what I want to accomplish.

EXCEPT, Windows deletes the user profile of Guest accounts after each
login. (NT, 2000, and XP on a domain)

So is there a way to either:
1. prevent Windows from deleting the user profile? or,
2. copy the existing Guests group and all its security settings into a
custom group? Programmatically.

Is either possible?
