restrict & hide programs...

[mike]

vista ultimate...

preparing to share my computer & want not only to restrict all other users
including guest account from running, but also even seeing, some of the apps
in the "all programs" list as well as in the "program files" folder (mostly
tech utilities & various browsers)

thanks,
mike.

Set the permissions on the .EXE files to Deny the other accounts and/or move
the shortcuts from...

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

to...

C:\Users\your_user_name_here\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start
Menu\Programs
