How can I restrict a user from installing to the C: drive? no admin PW
Hello,
I have two main drives on my comp.: a C: - an SSD, and H: and HDD.
I have multiple user accounts, and another user of this PC never pays attention to where he is installing new software, so puts everything onto the SSD as it is always given as the first suggestion when installing anything (C:\Program Files\...).
And we end up having random games, mini-software, all sorts of stuff, taking up space on the precious SSD.
I do NOT want to completely forbid this user to install anything. The user should have access to everything, and this is why I did not put an admin password (before install wizards open up on non-admin accounts there is a dialog to insert password).
What would be a good solution?
I tried removing all permissions in the security tab on the C: drive properties, but some warnings popped up and I reverted everything back to how it was, as the dialogs suggested.
Also, if it is made invisible, I also want it to not show up in the install wizards (which is the main goal).
I found this quota thing, but would it help if there is no admin password and the user can install to C anyway?
Much thanks in advance.
