Re: how can i restrict

Hi Abhimanyu Royal,

You cannot restrict a Administrator account from installing programs. If you need to restrict someone from installing programs that affect the computer or other users, then you will need to set them up a Standard account.

User Account - Create


Make sue that you password protect your Administrator account so the other user cannot log on to it.

User Account - Create Password


If you would like to restrict the Standard account further, then see:

Parental Controls - Specific Programs

Hope this helps,
Shawn
