Anyone know how i can stop another user on this pc from installing new programs?
ie.. my nephew keeps installing this stupid calendar program. i have to uninstall it daily. I'm sure it's some sort of popup related to kazaa.. and he clicks it off in an attempt to get rid of it.. but ends up installing it instead. Anyways.. I just wanna block everyone but me from installing any new programs on this pc.. any ideas ?
Thx
 
Are you using XP? You need to create user accounts for each user, if you haven't done so already. With each person logging in to his or her own account, you can restrict what each person is able to do. Look here for information on how to do this and the benefits of it.
 
Also create a password for your account so no one but you can log on as you.
 
cool i gave that a try.. and for the most part it's working.. thx
 
Have your relatives or whoever log on as a guest and they really cant change any thing.

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. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
