has been installed. I have no XP here so I cant tell you if its possible
After that other users cant access that folder or its content

Hi all, Is there a way to install a program in only my admin account.
Using
win XP home and do not want other users accessing certain programs. At
the moment all programs installed are able to be accessed by all users.
Hope you can help. Thanks
I don't believe you'll be able to do this natively in XP Home. You would
need to upgrade to Pro or use third-party software. If your other users
not particularly savvy, you can remove any shortcuts to the programs from
their Start menus. Naturally this is merely a cosmetic "fix" and the users
could still run the programs if they know how to find the executables.
You might want to take a look at using either MVP Doug Knox's Security
Console or the MS SteadyState program to set the restrictions the way you
want.
