Preventing a specific app from being uninstalled
Hello all,
This is my first time posting here so thanks in advance for any help!
I am letting a friend barrow a laptop... it is running Windows 7 Pro. This friend has a history of doing bad things to computers so I would like to safe guard it best as possible while still giving them enough control so that the computer fits their needs. My plan is to setup a standard user account for them to use regularly... that being said I would like to allow them to install new software as needed so I plan to provide them with a password to a local admin account and tell them to never log in as the local admin... but they can use the password to install software when prompted.
With that being said I would like to install TeamViewer or some other remote desktop app so that I can log in and trouble shoot any issues they have. Multiple people (children included) may use this computer and I would like to password protect the remote desktop app so that it can NOT be uninstalled even if they have local admin rights... is this possible? Are there any remote desktop apps that have this feature built in?
If I can't password protect a specific app, is it possible to restrict the ability to uninstall all programs but still allow a user to install new programs?
Thanks,
