User Accounts

M

I would like to set up 2 User Accounts for each of my children. I have
done this. However, their account set up mirrors mine. They have all
the same programs that I have. I don't want this to be shown on their
session or available to them. Basically, all I want them to have
access to are the Games, IE, Word, Excel, OutLook Express and Media
Player. I do not want them to have access to any of the programs that
I installed on my session. I have set myself up as the Administrator
and them as Limited Users. I tried to delete the programs off their
session - when I did, my desktop looked like swiss cheese! Most all of
my icons were gone and some of the programs would not work any longer.
I've reinstalled all of my software and deleted their accounts until I
can figure out how to only load up certain programs on their side. Can
anyone help me out?

Put the shortcuts you would like them to have in C:\Documents and
Settings\All Users\Desktop
Put the shortcuts to your programs in C:\Documents and
Settings\<your_user_name>\Desktop
