I just set up a new account for guest. But I don't know how to restrict the guest to only see certain volume or applications.....



Can anyone help?

    Set the privileges for "everyone" to "read only" on your Applications, Library, and any other custom folders at the root of your drive. For that matter, you could set any other folders to none if you don't want him snooping through the files. Create a user for him and set it to auto-login to his name. That should be enough to keep him out of trouble.



    As long as he isn't an "ub3r 1337 h4x0r" you shouldn't have to worry about anything else. You could disable CD-booting in the firmware, but I don't think that should be necessary... should it?
