Re: Setting restrictions for users other than admin.



Hello,

This tool is specifically for standalone home computers that are shared by different users. The
target audience for this tool is average home users who want to set restrictions on different user
accounts on a machine running Winodws XP.

The first link that i gave you can provide more information about this tool

Anando,

I'm not the OP but I did find those links pretty interesting. I tried to research it a little to
see just what it's about, but even after I found the "manual", 13 pages I think it was, there
didn't seem to be what I was looking for; all it was is a "how to" of the features, not what it's
actually going to be doing system-wise. I couldn't even tell if it was for a single standalone
computer or networked systems, although it seems to be standalones from the wording.

Can you elaborate a little on just what these tools are going to do? I'm not looking for internal
super-techie stuff, just something for a more-than-a-newbie, knows-enough-to-be-dangerous, but
definitely-no-guru but everyone thinks he is, type <g>. If that makes any sense!!
Maybe it's all there but I'm learning disabled due to a concussion a few yeara ago and just
couldn't put it together, if that helps you determine the type of audience I am.

I'd just like to know if it's just an automation of things like setting the Properties Security
Settings, things like that, I guess. What concerned me was the long list of instructions for
uninstalling it; it'll be pretty hard to remember to do that stuff if it doesn't walk one thru it!

TIA,

Pop

I am very inexperienced with XP Pro and I was trying to figure out how to set
user restrictions on my computer because I have other people in my home who
like to download things that clog my computer up with junk. I have no idea
how to set up my computer so that the only person that can download new
things into my computer is the administrator (which is me.).
