Answer» Hi there.
My brother in law INSTALLS programs on my computer when I am not around. I have told him not to, but when I am not there he does anyway. So I CONTEND with pop-ups and other nonsense from some of the programs he installs. Since he wont stop doing it, I am wondering if there is a way to set up windows xp so only I can INSTALL programs.
Thanks!
-MacCreate a limited user account for your brother with his name.
Add a PASSWORD to your administrator's account.
Don't tell him your password.
Better yet, don't create an account for him at all, activate the guest account, and have him use that. If he tries to use your account, the password will KEEP him out. If he logs on as a guest, Windows will not let him install anything. Problem solved.
