deny access to programs for different users on same computer

[Tony Stark]

I want to deny certain users access to certain programs,
such as MSN Messenger and Yahoo Messenger, from their
settings on the same computer as other users who should
have access to these programs. Is this possible and if
so how is it done?

Hi,

Yes, it's possible. Simply set permissions on that folder by logging on as
administrator. Remove everyone permissions, and add only the accounts that
you want to have access. Please ask if you need detailed assistance with
this, or see:

You might also find it easier to use the registered version of Doug Knox's
security console (www.dougknox.com).
