Is there a way to install software for just one user? I
installed yahoo messenger for my use only and it keeps
popping up on my kids' side of the computer. How can I
keep this from happening? And how can I get rid of
Outlook on their side as well? I'd appreciate any
advice. Thanks!
 
Hi Michele,

Move the startup icon from the Allusers folder to your local profile:

From:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

To:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
