User Account & Software Installation

CyberWizard · 07-13-2007, 08:47 AM

I just installed Windows Vista on my notebook PC. I created three User Accounts. One is mine which is Admin and the other two Standard User(one for my wife and other for my son).

I would like to know how can I install software in specific user account. For example how do I install an application in my Account and not in the other two accounts.

Or else how could I install a software in all three accounts and then unistall it on one or two of the other accounts.

Let me know if what I'm asking can be done. When I had XP I used two have two accounts and there were a lot of applications that I used that my wife didn't used, still those applications appeared on her account. This time I would like mange that situation in a way where every user has only what they need and not everything that is installed on the PC.

Hello and welcome to TSF

When you install a program you usually get a box, and it says something like "install for all users or just me" or something along those lines. Then you can just select what user you want. I know this is an old pic, but it is pretty much the same:
