Hi!
i have windows7 on my pc with an admin (me) and a normal user (my brother) part, every time i install a program, win7 don't ask me nothing, and install in both parts, now i want to install some programs only in my admin section, and i want the other users can't see the program i've installed, they can't see, they can't touch, they can't do any damage XD
someone can help me?
thank you

Down load the program. Right click on icon go to properties>compatibility> change setting for users >privileges. Then select what you want.
Brink posted a good tutorial about admin rights and programs - Check it out here: Run as Administrator
Cheers,
Ron

Open the start menu and right click on the all programs item
Click on open all users
repeat the above but click on open
This will open the folders containing the current users start menu and that for all users - you can now move or delete the shortcuts to set which items are available to which users.
If you do this as your user you will need to open the Hidden folder at c:\users\brothrersusername\appdata\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu to check the shortcuts for your brothers ID
Most install that I';ve done ask if it's for just one user or all users of the PC.
If he has a limited account, the program shortcut icon will not appear in his Start menu and/or desktop.
