Program Access by User Account

[Guest]

I'm a new XP Home SP2 user. 2 questions:

1. Is there a way to limit access to a program based on a user account?
Example, I would rather not even allow access to Quicken for my kids accounts.

2. When I install some programs using the administrator account, the
programs try to run when limited accounts are used...an can't because they
don't seem to have full access to program. How can I avoid this?

I've been looking into this myself but have XP Pro. I don't know if this
will work with XP Home.

I've disabled simple file sharing and set the properties of the application
(right click the .exe file) to add a particular User Account then set the
access capability of the User Account to deny all access to the .exe. I
hope I've explained it - it seems to work for me.

Fingers crossed that it'll work for you on XP Home.
