    To prevent application access outside it's installation directory


    Hello! :)
    I need a little advise.
    If I have some windows aplication that runs some periferial hardware scan - to check out folder content.
    Can I prevent access and let application sit inside it's installation directory ?
    Or I just have to prevent access to every important folder specifically ?
    I mean - do I have to set all important folders access only to authorised users and admins ?
    And what kind of user are any windows application - just simple user ?
    Excuse me about some complicated queries?
    Thanks! :)

    If you have programs you don't want other users running then only install them to your user account. Most will offer you the choice.
