install software for specific users

[Marko]

System is Windows 2000 Pro with 2 users plus the administrator account
on a home workgroup network.

I would like to install some software for the administrator and one of
the users only, or sometimes for only one of the users. The only posts
or KB articles I found on the subject discusses group policies in a
domain for 2000 server. Can software be installed in Pro to specific
users and not others?

You can install it and then remove the righs to the EXE file from the ones
who can't use it.

Create a "Program Files" folder under "\Documents and
Settings\YOURUSERNAME\" and install it there. If you want to hide the start
menu items, move them to the "Start Menu" folder under your user name and
copy them to the administrators start menu. HTH.

its not rights I am worried about (they are married)(well maybe), the
problem is that some of their software wants to be setup for each user,
if one doesn't want it I prefer them not to get it than to have to
remove references and autostartup options.
