| Hey, as the title says really, I'm configuring this PC to be used by multiple people and I need to be able to stop the standard users from using certain programs, to minimise the amount of time I have to spend fixing it.  I googled as many ways as I could think of, but all I turned up was AppSec, which I could only find a patch to download not the actual program. But even then it seemed to me that it's for servers, rather than just a single local system. Thanks, Ollie. EDIT: I looked at Set Program Access in CP, but I need something with much more coverage than that. So I can literally pick any program and say, yep User A can have that User B however can't... etc. Wouldn't matter to much if I couldn't set it seperatly for different Users, but it would be better.

| Well I thought you could, I was sure I remembered seeing a box with "Permissions" or something, but I can't find any settings anywhere now that I actually need it. I have the accounts set up, but if I install something on the Admin (me) then it shows up on all of the Standard user accounts as well, and they can alter settings and potentially screw it all up

| I dunno what you did bro, but that just ain't right. I'm with Dave. You can do it with the windows accounts. I did it on my daughters computer (and it's a PITA when I forget and try to do something on her account not my admin one), and it works great. The only programs she can see are the ones I let her, and no one can change settings from that account. |

| Sorry for the delay, I had friends over yesterday and we were "playing" all day lol. Anywya,s I think i have found what you want. The first link is to a tutorial page that has several different things you should know so I included it. You can browse the topics and pick what you want http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/?filter[11]=User Accounts EDIT: Crud, I meant to link this one first. Do it and then the next one: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67567-administrator-account.html?filter[11]=User Accounts This next link is more specifically what I think you need: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/93009-user-account-create.html?filter[11]=User Accounts The dude that wrote that tutorial, brink, is a really sharp guy. The site owner is a complete tool though who banned me for absolutely no reason, except to be a dick. The tutorials are great though lol. I keep telling Dave to do something like that here, but he isn't interested. If you have any questions let me know. Heck, I'll do the tutorial with you even though I don't need accounts............ |
