    My little Nethpew completely :censored: my computer by dling a virus, Now ive set up accounts, passworded my account and made one for him
    So, how do you stop Certain User accounts opening Certain folders and Programs

    Like Stop User C from opening LimeWire or uTorrent

    Also, it is possable to make it so, On one account you have a skin from windows blinds while on other you have Basic Windows Xp one

    when you install certain programs, it says 'settings for anyone who uses this computer' or 'for this account'

    or something to that.

    I can't remember what the :censored: it is... I'll look around...

    I have lots of stuff on my computer already though, it would take too long to uninstall just to reinstall everything, plus i need to learn how to Block him from opening things such as Program files or Windows file

    no prob. half the battle was remembering what it is called...

    you can also password protect the windows and program files folders. I'll find a link to do that, too, or just look on google for it.

    I gotta get going..

    oh, nevermind, that was for personal folders, not system folders...

    you can give him a limited account, where he can't install programs, and you could also set up a quota on the c drive, so he cannot download anything that has a virus or spyware in it..
