Hello,
I currently have 4 user accounts on my W2K Pro machine including the
Administrator. I would like to install software that is only accessible by 1
of the other 3 users.
No specific software.
How do I accomplish this ?
Thanks in advance.

Make a note of the target installation folder, then
apply appropriately restrictive permissions to this
target folder. Note that this works only if the target
folder resides on an NTFS partition but not on a
FAT32 partition.

Thanks Pegasus,
I should have known that.
By the way, I just want to say that I read most if not all of your posts and
replies. Clear and straight to the point answers.
Thanks for your knowledge and help always.
