Help me lock down a friend's computer...

A friend of mine is looking to secure her computer. She wants to keep her desktop (the whole house use this computer) and such, but wants to block people from installing stuff and setting passwords.

She's running WinXP Home so accounts are possible. However, this has been tried and failed.

I know there are programs that can do this, but I thought you guys might have a better recommendation.


Thanks for the help

Edited for another question:

It isn't possible to run "disk cleanup" on her computer. When you first click on it, the box appears and then it hangs (I waited 15 minutes to be sure.) If you close it out and then restart it, nothing happens. The mouse cursor will change for a brief second indicating it's working in the background, but Nada. It's not a big deal and it's not that important, but it's an inconvenience, so I thought I'd ask.
