Hello guys, I would like to know how to restrict users from being able
to install anything on windows xp. we have some pc's at my church that
people install stuff on and I would like to prevent that. I changed
the users to limited access instead of having full admin but I want
to know if that's all that's needed.

thanks for your help

That will stop *most* of it - but not necessarily all. You don't mention
whether you're running XP Home or Pro (there are differences!) or if there's
a specific set of programs that the regular (non-admin) users are to be
allowed to run. Providing more info might help you get more help....
