you should be able to limit access via the database interface, if it's something that you've built, then make accounts and force logins, or if it's something like phpmyadmin, then go to the mysql database and edit the users table as you need it, it  has an easy to understand y/n priv system

In Windows XP, there are a few ways to do it, but the easiest is to compress the folder and use the folder's built-in password protection. See this article:\n\nhttp://www.pcworld.com/howto/article/0,aid,110663,00.asp

If your using Windows XP file/folder sharing should be disabled already.  XP does have a "share" folder and anything you drop in that folder can be shared. Other than that you should be ok.

There are settings in Windows that allow an administrator to restrict user access to certain options and settings. Your account might belong to the main user of the computer, but there is always an administrator account that an administrator can use to restrict access to certain features of Windows.\n\nIf your account has administrative privilages, you can access these normally hard to find settings through the Group Policy editor. To launch this, do the following.\n\n1. Click on Start\n2. Click on Run\n3. Type "gpedit.msc"\n4. Click on OK or press Enter.\n\nOnce the Group Policy editor is launched, you can change a lot of settings (and undo the restriction you have met). The Internet Explorer settings are under:\n\nComputer Configuration\n  |- Administrative Templates\n    |- Windows Components\n      |- Internet Explorer\n\nand\n\nUser Configuration\n  |- Administrative Templates\n    |- Windows Components\n      |- Internet Explorer\n\n\nMake sure that you understand what settings you are changing. The Group Policy editor gives you information as to what each setting controls.

You can't. That's why the person who is the administrator is called that. ONLY the administrator can change your user account from being a limited user account to an administrator accound.

If there is Multiple users on this computer, Somebody has to be an administrator. Click start, Then click the picture on top of start menu where your user name is. The user accounts screen should come up. Then when that comes up, Click "Home" at the top. Then click change an account. You will be given the option to either change a user to an administrator, Or limit users accounts, Which will deny them access to downloading, Changing computer settings, Or installing programs. I would check and see if he didnt accidently limit your account, As that what it sounds like.

Your account sounds like it is LIMITED.   Can you modify that account so it is Administrator level?

you still need to be able to get into the administrator account to do this. once you do, you can click on control panel->users and change the permissions on the account you want to use.

If you're running XP, set up accounts for your brothers.  Keep yourself as Adminstrator ... set up their accounts with restrictions on web-sites, ability to download/install, etc.\n\nWhen you're going to be away, simply log off.  They will click on their ICON and log in as themselves ... they will each have their own desktop, etc. and won't be messing with the computer !\n\nMultiple user accounts.  It's that simple.

you can't really restrict access to this folder like that... not without making your own life harder..well you can but its abit indepth and if you get it wrong it will cause problem with the computer using the folder.. if you are using xp you could give him his own user account as a regular user, not administrator like your account would be... and as the administrator you could apply the content adviser so that most site of a certain type are blocked... he as a regular user will not be allowed to do certain stuff... like install programs and modify settings....\n\nI cant remember if user level restricts access to the temp folders in the sense to simply empty them.. \n\nBut to be honest if someone was on my computer doing something that i didnt want them to do.. i would make it that they just didnt use my computer... they could be opening you up to viruses.\n\ngood luck.\n\nps: perhaps its the facts that you dont find anything in the caches, especially when you haven't cleared it recently, is the proof that he's been doing something dodgy.\n\npps: if you dont mind making your own life narder then reduce your account down to a user lever and use the administrator account to do major stuff, instals etc... then he can't install stuff using your account.... and start the content advisor with a password that only you know.. this way when you use the computer you can turn the adviser off whilst he cant look as dodge stuff.

In many cases, u gan just add a shortcut for them or move the existing shortcut to all users. If it doesn't work, u may have to uninstall and reinstall.\n\nAs to blocking, it can be done with either policy or file security.
