Application/Program Access
Sorry for the newbie question.
How can I restrict certain applications/programs from appearing on limited user's menus? I have a home PC where I am the Administrator and my children are limited users. I want to remove some applications from their menus so they are not so cluttered. Thanks. |

Try this: 1- Log with your admin account 2- Open windows Explorer 3- find this path/directory: C:\Documents and Settings\Limited Account\Start Menu\Programs\ Start Up and Remove what you want from that account. If you have XP professional and you assigned this Teen a limited account you can do this through the GPO by doing the following: Open a run command and type in: gpedit.msc click [OK] On the Group Policy under User Configuration: [- ] Administrator Templates [ -]System: look in the right pane and you will see this option set to Deny and Allow users as you like: Don't run specified Windows applications And this: Restrict these programs from being launched from help Use Onecare or another Firewall to limit access to limited user: http://www.microsoft.com/canada/home...-controls.aspx HTH, nass --- http://www.nasstec.co.uk |

Hi,
Which apps/programs or views do you want to remove? For a list of policy settings for the Start Menu in Windows XP, please refer to this KB: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/292504/en-us Or if you can be more specific, maybe we can figure out a more suitable solution for your needs. =) -- ....Badz...

Thank you for your suggestion.
There are a number of programs that are installed which are just "clutter" as far as my children are concerned. Such as: all of the System Tools Items, Accessibility Items, Norton Antivirus, Creative Mediasource etc. I'd like some programs only to be available to Administrators and other to be available for limited users. Hope the above makes it a bit clearer. Thanks. "Salvador Manaois III" wrote: Hi, Which apps/programs or views do you want to remove?
