Hi,

another question, about WinXP Pro this time. For I have got a multi-user PC, which I am administrator of, I was wondering if I could prevent access to some programs by some of the users (located in UserGroups) by a logon-script or through an other form of configuration (the configuration screen?). Or is it necessary that the user has to log in as a guest?

some tweaking programs easily do it

actually you can set which programs they can run which might be easier

i don't know about and scripts

i'm sure more knowledged ppl on the forum do know some

some tweaking programs

tweak-ui

tweak-xp

tweak manager

and here is a direct link from ms for win2000 I'm sure its the same with xp or somewhat similar

You could create a new user group, add the appropriate users to that group, then change the permissions of the executables so that only members of that user group can run them. Or do the opposite and deny a particular group...

The best way to do this is useing NTFS Format .

I'll give a full guide for making a NTFS partition and the advantages of using that and a lot of tips and tricks about it !

just be pationt !

No need to be patient... just do as ckrough said. But I would recommend you set the permissions on the complete directory instead of the EXE. If it's just one user do it per user, if it's more than one user then create a group and add them to it.
