I have an adminstrator account on a PC. I installed a
program to C:Program Files. Is there a way I can prevent
the guest user or a limited user from accessing the
program? Please help.
 
Restrict Users from Running Specific Applications

Start/Run/Regedit
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersio
n\Policies\Explorer.Value Name: DisallowRun
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersi
on \Policies\Explorer] Create a new DWORD value and name
it "DisallowRun" set the value to "1" to enable
application restrictions or "0" to allow all applications
to run.

Then create a new sub-key called
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersi
on\ Policies\Explorer\DisallowRun] and define the
applications the are to be restricted. Creating a new
string value for each application, named as consecutive
numbers, and setting the value to the filename to be
restriced (e.g. "regedit.exe"). Restart Windows for the
changes to take effect.
 
Note: Rylan's suggestion only applies to the user account that you are
logged onto, when you run Regedit. You will have to log on to every user
account you wish to make this change for. See www.dougknox.com, Win XP
Utilities, Windows XP Security Console for a quick, easy way to apply this
type of restriction, among many others on a per user basis.
