Re: how to restrict users

As Lanwench said that will stop most of it. You may also want to look at the
capabilities of the Shared Computer Toolkit that is free from Microsoft and
will run on both XP Pro and XP Home as long as service pack 2 is installed.

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
