Can i limit an administrator account?
I have a pc running windows 7 ultimate 64 bit, and a friend of mine needs to use it. I have personal information on my computer that i do not want to be shared, and i understand that the easiest way to go about doing this is to make a standard user account. However, i will not be within 30 miles of this computer at any given time and i want said person to be able to install programs and such without me having to log in using remote support or giving them my password which would defeat the purpose of the standard user account. Is there a way to either give the standard user a few more privileges such as being able to install programs and things in that nature or being able to limit an admin account so my documents cannot be seen and i can restrict the use of cmd so said person cannot run control userpasswords2 and erase my password from their account giving them access to mine.
Any help is appreciated. If i have to il just do a dual boot and remove the os containing my account from the boot ini and partition the drive and encrypt my half. That would be the long way around though.
