Vista - What is specific to user accounts?

Hi people. Just signed on to this forum. Please tell me someone, What exactly is specific to a user account in Vista Home premium? Custom hardware profiles are not available in Vista so Im wondering if I create an addintional user account and then disable certain hardware devices in device manager while logged on to the account, will they also be disabled in the original account? Or is this a global setting? And what all is specific to a user account? Im sure documents and other common items but what else?

I know I could create one and do some testing but I thought I would ask first. Im the only user of the machine and, messing with user accounts kind of spooks me.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Greg, and welcome to Vista Forums.

Hardware devices are used globally on the computer for all users. I believe the easiest way to restrict access for a particular user account for a item (ex: file or drive) is to change the permission level to "Deny" access for that user. This tutorial below can help show you how to do this if needed.

Folder Permissions

Hope this helps,
