Windows 7 Standard user

[XD-3]

Hi all.

So I have build a computer for my family members to use at home while I am away at Uni. I've set it up on windows 7 using four standard user accounts and parental control/ Internet filtering for the younger members.

The only problem though is that every time they 'I' install a program to one of the standard user accounts (Administrator Password Required) the program appears on the Administrator account as well?

Probably a very vanilla question this guys I just can't find the option that allows me to set it up to install to the individual standard user accounts only...

Cheers

Software is just installed to that instance of Windows, you can't really install software "per user". The exception to this rule is software designed and programmed to run in the individual user-space (which should not require admin rights) - Google Chrome for example.

The only way you can hide it is to remove it from your Start menu. In XP this is just a case of removing it from the All Users start menu folder. I can't remember how to do this in Windows 7 to be honest but I'm sure someone else can post how.

mmm, that's interesting it's not really that important. But I am surprised that you cannot install software and setup the system to only allow either specific user accounts access it or only the user that installed it.
