hi im new to xp
i am the administrator out our home and i want other people to be able to
install programs but not be able to change settings.
when i go into user accounts the only options i get are to
change the persons name
change the persons password
change their picture
change the account type (either administrator or Limited)
delete the account

is there a patch i need to get to get extra options about other user accounts?
thanks for taking the time

and i am using xp home version.
cheers
logan

See www.dougknox.com, Win XP Utilities, Windows XP Security Console. With this utility, you can restrict what users can do, on a per user basis. Windows XP Home does not have the built-in functionality of XP Pro and the Group Policy editor.
