restricting access to some programs XP Pro

[jim]

Hi: I want to install Oracle 9i Personal Edition on Win
XP Pro. I am told that there are a lot of services that
will run in the background, even when the app is not
open. I want to set up a special account so that only
this special user has access to this app. I can figure
out how to add new users, but I am not sure how to
install the software so that ONLY this new user has
access to this application. I understand that by default
all applications are available to everyone. How do I
change this, and will this accomplish what I want - that
the services used by Oracle 9i will not load unless this
special user logs in??? Any other suggestions on how to
keep my system resources from being depleted?? Thanks,
Jim (I have a Dell Dimension 8200 2Gig with 512MB Ram)
