A limited account is one of the built-in user accounts that is supported by the Windows XP operating system. It allows a user to change his account's password and picture, but it does not allow him to change computer settings, install or remove software and hardware, delete files, change system settings, etc. This account is configured on stand-alone computers and on computers that are running in workgroups and domains.
