Preventing apps from loading on another account

[Gomek]

Hello. I have a few applications that load when Windows boots. I have
another account setup, and another instance of that program is also loaded
when the user logs on. What would be the easiest method for only allowing
the program to execute in the main account only? Any help is appreciated,
thanks!

I can't say if when installing an application using other than the Custom option
will give you the choice to install "For all users" or "Install only for this user, I
have always used Custom.

When installing an app select the option to "Install for only this user" or
similar. For the user you wish to not have the app installed Check Control Panel >
Add/Remove Programs and see if you can uninstall it from that user, otherwise you may
need to uninstall/reinstall from the user you installed it from.
