How to prevent games being available on a user account?

original title: creating a user

I created a second account for my games load upward and they work fine, but they are also now on my main account how can I fix?

Unless the programs are designed to install in the user profile, which is unusual, they will be accessible to all users.

You can use Parental controls to prevent a program run by a specific user.

  • How to make a program available to all users if the program was installed for a user

    Basically, the problem is that I created another user account, but only a few random apps appear on it and I was REALLY looking FORWARD to having to reinstall some programs + 50 so my computer can function normally on my secondary account.  I am able to find a lot of programs installed by snooping around in Explorer and have been able to run some by creating shortcuts, but many of them (Spybot, Itunes, Google Chrome, THE LIST GOES ON!) nothing do when the .exe is open and are unusable (on this account).
    Also, I want to say there is no page support for Windows 7 that cover this topic (that I could find by using the provided search engine), and the more those (as for windows 2000) do not apply because they tell you to move files Windows has more, but it is a known problem and Microsoft should incorporate a simple way to add or remove accounts without uninstall/install programs just to be able to check a box... _ Perhaps there could even be an option for this in a very obvious place, as installed programs list of the filth or user account settings.

    Any application that is properly designed to work on Windows 7
    either would give the person making the installation option to
    make the application available to all users, or do it automatically.
    by default. It is entirely the responsibility of an application
    programmers and out of Microsoft's control. Thus, the easiest way, of
    of course, is to use an application that is designed for a multi-user operating system.
    But, unfortunately, this is not always an option, where companies must rely on
    existing proprietary applications.

    If you install the legacy application places its shortcuts
    only in the start of the person performing the installation, all the
    You may need to do is to move these Start Menu entries to the same
    location in the C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start start\program
    folder and/or the C:\Users\Public\Public Desktop folder.

    In addition, such an incompatible application can offer additional
    "challenges:

    You may experience problems if the software has been designed to
    Win9x / Me, or if it was intended for Windows NT / 2 K/XP, Vista/Win7, but was
    poorly designed. Quite simply, the application 'knows' how
    manage individual user with different security permissions profiles
    e going to
    'banned' sections of the Windows registry or Windows protected
    system folders.

    For example, the saved data is often stored in a subfolder under the
    folder of the application in C:\Program Files - a place where it doesn't
    the inexperienced user or limited should never have write permissions.

    It may even be that the software requires 'write' access to the parties
    the registry or the files/folders to systems protected are not normally
    accessible to regular users. (He * didn't * happen if the application is)
    correctly written.) If this does not prove that that is the case, however, you
    often left with three options: either grant the required users
    privileges of senior access (either as users with power or local
    Administrators), explicitly grant privileges for normal users
    the relevant records and/or parts or the registry or replace the
    request by another who has been properly designed especially for
    WinNT / 2 K/XP/Vista/Win7.

    Some programs do not work if you connect limited account
    http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB; EN-US; q307091

    In addition, here are some tips suggested, in response to a
    another post, MS - MVP Kent W. England:

    "If your game or your application works with administrator accounts, but not with."
    limited accounts, you can set it to allow limited users to access to the
    folder Program files with 'change' ability rather than 'read' that
    is the default value.

    C:\>Cacls "Program Files\appfolder" /e /t /p user: c

    where "appfolder" is the folder where the application is installed.

    If you want to undo these changes, then run

    C:\>Cacls "Program Files\appfolder" /e /t /p user: r

    NOTE: On Win7 Icacls.exe gives more control.

    If you still have a problem with the delivery of the program or save the settings
    on limited accounts, you may need to change the permissions in the registry
    keys. Run regedit.exe and go to HKLM\Software\vendor\app, where
    the key of the Publisher of the software used to your own
    program. Change the permissions on this key to allow users full control. »

    Thanks for your help.  I tried to implement your suggestion, and most of the time, it worked.

    I followed the path OS (C> users > Public > Public Documents and was able to copy the document it.)

    I have it pinned to the taskbar and managed to get it back and make & save changes.

    When I copied it initially the path mentioned previously it had an identical copy in the following path: > libraries > Documents > Public Documents.

    Unfortunately, when I used the button "Save" it would save the file to the location of a second, but the pinned file would go to the original OS (C... way, then recover the original unedited version.)  It took me a while to understand this.

  • How can I permanently disable and remove the User Account Control (UAC) on Control Panel?

    This feature on Windows Vista is really annoying when you do a presentation. I want to permanently disable and remove from the control panel.

    Hi Eyngel,

    If I understand you correctly, you want to disable or delete the user (UAC) of your computer access control.

    You can turn off the UAC, but do not remove it completely from your computer.

    You can let on that it is one of the security features of Windows Vista.

    To turn off the UAC:

    Go to control panel > user accounts > manage another account > at bottom of the page delete the control on the use of user access control.
    It should ask you to restart the computer to complete the process.

    I hope this helps. ----------------------------------------------------------
