Re: how to restrict users

the computer's are win xp pro w/ sp2 and no one should be installing anything besides myself. they're just supose to use the programs that's on there and nothing else. I want it so the only way they can install something is by getting myself or the other person in charge to log in as the admins so something can be installed if need be.

This maybe an issue later on i'm not sure yet, but also I want to know how to allow some to have access to the IE but maybe not others. we have about 7 users who have user/pw. one of the things that was installed was aol and netscape. little did they know that pc has no line running to it yet. but once again, this is a church pc and they shouldn't be on the net anyway, so once I do setup the IE I want to keep some from getting on or at least figure out how to restrict sites.

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
