I just want to install soft only visible fro the account on which i installed the soft.

But at each time i install soft, it's visible from all the computer account.

Any solution ?...
 
Under each user account you have start menu folders. You also have a start menu folder under an account called 'all users.' Open Windows explorer and navigate to X:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu and start rearranging what you want where... if you don't want all users to see a particular program, copy it into the account of choice and delete it from the all users account start menu. You can modify each account the way you want that way. It won't stop a saavy user from launching a particular program if they know where to look for the executable, but it won't be visible in their respective Start> All Programs view.
 
OK. Thanks : it works !

But i was told that when you install a program, it's just created in the account that you were using when you made the install operation.

Am i wrong or this works only for few software designed for windows XP ?
 
It depends on the title. Most will install so that all the users on the computer can run them. Some will give you the option during setup if it's for just that account or all accounts, others just do it automatically. There's no set rule.
 
Most often the software your installing will give you the option to install for all users or not.

.if it doesnt, its sucky ,,just kidding..:p

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(
