Re: Setting restrictions for users other than admin.

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.).
