How to Prevent other users from Installing/Running software on WinXP? w/o third-party software

Asked by Four_of_Five in Operating Systems Miscellaneous

Tags: , , , ,

Hi,

I know it can be done thru Group Policy(?) most likely I think...but the ones I've seen are on a domain...can it be done on a stand-alone pc? I've actually tried it doing it on Software Security Policies but it just messes up the already installed software for the other users (and not really preventing them either)...am I missing something?

a) Can the "Admin" just install software just for a particular user? (nobody else can use it) How?

b) Can a Limited User be prevented from installing (and uninstalling) programs? I mean, not being able to launch an executable file. Let's not include hiding the Control Panel on this :)

c) If none of the above can be done simply by using XP Professional, is there a work-around or third-party software that can be used?

Thanks for the tips!
