Limiting user accounts

I have only one computer in my home, but many people use it.

How do i create multiple accounts and set limitations to certain programs and folders?

I know how to make an account, but for example, i dont want my kids to access firefox.exe (C:\program files\mozilla firefox\firefox.exe)

how do i disable simplified sharing?
Click Start, and then click My Computer.
On the Tools menu, click Folder Options, and then click the View tab.
In the Advanced Settings section, clear the Use simple file sharing (Recommended) check box.
Click OK.
it's not giving me that option..
Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click Administrative Tools.
Click Computer Management, and then click Shared Folders.
Double-click Shares to view a list of shared folders.
 
and what was the point of that?
right click and stop sharing
it just gives me the options refresh, and help
then your user is limited
you need to be an admin
im on the owner account, the highest level
i dont know what you mean but if you want my computer and explorer and...
