Limited Users

Hi all

I have XP Pro set up for 4 users myself as admin the rest limited accounts
all are password protected. I find that when I install a program in my account it is available to all other users, is there any way I can install programs so that they can only be used by the users who request them?

also all folders except the My Documents folders on individual accounts can be accessed by everyone how can I restrict access to these folders to prevent people tampering with the contents?.

Thanks in advance ..... Elux

Deny NTFS permissions!!

That would be the easiest way to restrict certain users from accessing some folders, although keep in mind that you can have major problems by setting the folder restrictions too tight.

Right click on the folder in question, choose the security tab, and customize as you see fit.

Thanks adamvjackson

I will try what you suggested, I have also noticed that the recycle bin contents are also available to every user, I know I can set it up not to store deleted files but the number of times I have needed to recover a deleted file rules this option out

Thanks Again .... Pete

Not sure on that one, since the recycle bin is a per-machine setting, maybe someone else may have an idea.
