thought can configure on my own? -
There's no way you can do that without those softwares... at the most they can't install programs and delete files nia...Originally posted by alwaysdisturbed:need software?

You can also configure... but without locking yourself out too. -

and then?Originally posted by StarPuppy:control panel -> User Account
set to limited? but it doesn't always prevent installation of programs. -
Just set him as a normal user instead of giving him full administrator rights.Originally posted by alwaysdisturbed:i just got a new com and my bro likes to install alot of nonsense and i want to create this restriction.

It does. All legitimate programs recognize this. Otherwise, get a Linux. It will enforce all the security policies.Originally posted by alwaysdisturbed:and then?

That's the software I'm talking about. You can lock them out of anything. If done incorrectly, you can lock yourself out too. Even as an administrator. I've tried that and got a headache. -
One way to do it is to split your computer into 2.Originally posted by alwaysdisturbed:and then?
set to limited? but it doesn't always prevent installation of programs.
Make your hard disk into multi partitions. Load the operating system into each partition so that when you boot up, you can choose which one to boot. Choose "clean install" the 2nd one and 3rd one. You can load 2000 in one, xp in the other and Vista in the third.
Setup one of the OS so that he cannot log in. Let him do what he likes with his own.
The rest like what about activation... how to partition... ask the rest here... -

Maybe you might want to try this method(Only for HDD that had been formatted with NTFS partition.
1: Go to "my computer"
2: Right click on the drive that you want to prevent installation of software and click on "Properties".
3: Click on the "Security" tab
4: Select the desire Username and under the "Permission for ", check the box that stated "Modify" & "Write" which is located at the "Deny" tab"
5: Click "ok"
Refer to the screenshot below.

Are your HDD formatted with NTFS partition ? If not you won't saw the "Security" tab.Originally posted by alwaysdisturbed:eh, how come my tab is 'sharing' instead of 'security'? -
I'm thinking if you have configured your PC differently.Originally posted by GSL:Are your HDD formatted with NTFS partition ? If not you won't saw the "Security" tab.
On my PC, there's no Security tab, formatted with NTFS.
Those formatted with FAT32 will not see a Quota tab. -
You need to configure it in a slightly different way.Originally posted by alwaysdisturbed:eh, how come my tab is 'sharing' instead of 'security'?
Open My Computer.
Click on Tools > Folder Options
Select the View tab.
Scroll all the way down and untick Use simple file sharing (recommended) box.
Click OK to apply the settings. Then you will get the Security tab shown in GSL picture. Note that it doesn't work on FAT32 formatted drives.
