Hi Guys,

I have a single Administrator account that everybody uses at home. Now everyone who uses this account can install any application.

Is there a way to restrict them from doing it. Something like i can turn some policy on and whenever i want to install a program i can turn it off.

Thanks.
A.R.

1. it is not wise to let everyone use the admin account, because of the fact that they can change system settings and there isnt much you can do about it.

2. Make a limited account so that they can use the computer but cant install anything.

That is the best way, im sure you can fool with policy settings and stuff but its easier to make a limited account.
