You can't set those kinds of permissions in Home edition.

log on as guest, this will create a 'personalised' start menu for that account.\nThen log off and come back in as Administrator... use windows explorer to go to c:documents and settings/guest/start menu delete any short cuts in there you want access denying to\nnow go to the 'all users' start menu, take out any shortcuts you dont want them to access from there, best way is to cut them and paste into the start menu of your personal account. Now when you log on as guest the shortcuts shouldnt appear---although this doesnt stop them using windows explorer to navigate to the .exe file to run them--- To totally deny access, you need to set the NTFS permissions on any .exe files you dont want guests to run to 'deny'. \nClick on 'tools' in windows explorer, go to folder options, view, scroll down and un-check 'use simple file and folder sharing'... now if you right click on a file and choose properties you'll see a security tab...click this and add the guest account, withj the permission set to deny on all.

If you have XP, you can create login id's for each person that you will allow to access the pc.  When that person logs in, a profile is created.  This means when they create desktop shortcuts for applications, it will show up when they login.  You can't just install software and not show up in the Programs list.\nTo setup logins, open Control Panel and select users and create a new account.  Make sure that user has to enter a password if they want their data protected.

It sounds like you are trying to install a program that requires administrator level rights and you don't have them. This is common with Windows XP accounts that have restrictions set up for the other users.

If this is a machine at work then it's no surprise as usually the IT department has been directed to set computers up a certain way and that means locking down some features like being able to install programs.\n\nIf it's your home PC then you need to login as administrator to be able to install programs.

xp did not offer this task. You need to write a small program to achieve this task. Why just using log-in password to avoid unwanted people to use your computer?? You can control the Guess computer the services (programs) that you welling to allow but not all in Host computer. Just do a creation another    user ...

piece of cake man.. But you got to be careful. Log on to the hard disk as slave in any machine. go to folder options. Untick thee USE SIMPLE FILE SHARING in the view tab. Now go to the folder of th user in documents and settings then right click it and go to properties. go to the sharing tab. you'll see a whole new interface of the tab. go to advanced and delete all the user permissions ALL OF THEM and then change the owner to everyone and apply to al sub folders and files. then add users permission and type also everyone then apply then OK. Enjoy

The first thing you have to do is create a new limited account.  Not an administrators account and make sure you password protect the administrators account.  Have the users you do not wish to make changes on the computer use the new limited account (and keep the password a secret).\n\nXP Pro has a tooll called Local Security Settings that will allow you make changes to your system. Click Start > Run, type secpol.msc > Enter.\n\nUnder Local Policies click User Rights Assignment. Right-click the policies you want to change, choose Properties and select which access rights.

Go to control panel and then User accounts.\n\nThere should be an option for it.

create, using the laptops default information, (username/password, if any,) a new user account in the Desktop.\n\nthat will give it permission so you don't have to keep doing it manually.

bobvatch is right, but that will only copy the user's setting and files. You can't copy their programs. Any software will need to be re-installed.

It depends on what type of operating program you have, but if you have Windows XP it is under the control panel, under User Accounts, change an account. If you only have one account, you should be the administrator already. If you have more than one, you need to be logged on to the administrator account to make any changes. Hope this helped.

well, some things only work on certain programs.  otherwise, you need to right click, properties, change, and change it to what you want it to run as.
