I have a XP Pro system that had 3 admin accounts. I know have to load several user accounts for the first time. I would like to restrict some non MS third-party software from the user accounts. I was able to use edit the reg. to restrict the microsoft programs but have not had any luck with 3rd part programs. Any help that you can provide would be great.

And you will get a faster responce if you post the full question in the Q & A section as you get an automatic e-mail generated everytime someone attempts to answer you're question. They will also probably be in the same time zone as you so things will go quicker as well.

But that being said what exactly do you want to restrict and how do you want to do this?

I suspose you already know that you can setup accounts in the User Profile in the control Panel and you can control what is available from there. I'm also taking it that this computer is a server and not a desktop unit as the need for various users is not all that common on desktop units but as you haven't stated this I'm only working on assumptions.

If required you can contact me direct at colinluck@quicknet.com.au but as I'm in Australia there may be a time lag because of the different time zones involved.

Thanks for the quick reply. Currently it is just one desktop running XP Pro. I also use a laptop but I am the only one with remote access. I have two other people with Admin accounts and three others that have User accounts. I would like to have the user accounts restricted to prevent access to accounting and other programs without having to reload the programs. I would still like them to have access to MS Office and a couple of programs used for work. I created each person a account but do not know how to restrict access to 3rd party non microsoft programs. Thanks again for your time.
