user rights in windows xp [Archive]

I am trying to lockdown my system so that other users of
my computer only have access to programs that I specify.
All the restrictions I have managed to apply to one
account have also applied to mine, I want to restrict
access to only one account. How do I do this?

Hi Abe,

Start/Run/GPEDIT/User restrictions. These things can only be changed from
Admin accounts and apply to all user profiles. GPEDIT.MSC is not available
in the Home Edition of Windows XP.

1. Go to Windows Explorer/Document & Settings
2. All Users". Click on Start Menu/Programs and locate the short cut to that
program.
3. Do the same under "specific username" (the username that you want to be
anble to individually use the program.
4. Now "Copy" the shortcut from All Users/Start Menu/Programs to
"username"/Start Menu/Programs.
5. Once the copy process is over, delete the shortcut from All Users (this
is just a safety precaution, you can also right click/drag&drop/move).

More Specific Options:

For Pro: Go to Start/Run/Gpedit/User Configuration/Software Settings
To restrict access to files and folders in XP Home, you must be running NTFS
as your file system.

To enforce file and folder security, boot the computer in Safe Mode and log
in to the built-in Administrator account. Once there, open Windows
Explorer and locate the file/folder you wish to restrict. Right click and
select Properties. Go to the Security tab. Here you can add/remove Users
and Groups, and either grant access to the file/folder, or deny access to
it.
