    Hey guys 
     
    I'm looking for some help regarding the 360 profiles.  I work in a small community center where we provide consoles for the members to use as they wish.  The problem with this is that the members are all kids, and keep on creating their own profiles to play about with.  What we're trying to do is create the single account for them to use, and lock it so that they can't keep creating any more new ones.  Of course we're happy enough if they want to bring their own profiles, but really would like to have just the one community profile on the system.  Can anyone advise whether this is possible or not, and how to do it? 
     
    Cheers

    I don't believe this is possible. I've looked pretty thoroughly over the settings and never saw something that would seem to indicate such a control mechanism exists.
     
    It's a good idea though - just a pity for you that I don't think you can do it.

    make it a child account, lock it down and all you also need is a "parent" account that will be password protected.

    In addition to making a child account for them to use and locking them out of the parent account, you'll want to go through and delete all the profiles you don't want. Even though they can't create new ones, they will still be able to switch around to ones already there.
