How to prevent users from installing new programs in Windows 7

Hello

I need to prevent users to install (and download) of new programs in Windows 7. I am responsible for three computers. They are not on one network (other than the internet, of course).

I read the article "How to prevent users from installing new programs in Windows 7" but I'm not sure what choice to make when I get to the choice of Windows Installer. I'm also not quite know how to cancel that so I can install the software when I have to. I've never done this if I want to be very careful.

Can anyone help?

Many thanks,

KK

Are their accounts 'Administrator' or 'Standard' user level?

If they are directors of the machine, and then create a new Admin account (only you know the password) and then lower their Standard user accounts. If they attempt to install programs now it should be prompted to enter the Admin password that they won't.

User accounts - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2663817

Also see http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/299-user-account-control-uac-change-notification-settings.html for info UAC - and adjust the required level.

If their accounts are accounts administrator and for some reason must be a competent user, then will probably be able to undo everything you put up anyway.

PS - what specific article?

  • How to prevent users from installing new programs in windows 7 Home premium

    I see that if you have full or professional that there is a thing called Local Group Policy Editor but I can't find it in the Home Premium edition.

    It would be good!

    Well seems the only thing to do is to spend the money, you will need to upgrade your version of Windows to the professional or ultimate edition:-

  • How to prevent users from a domain network to connect from another pc

    We have a domain based LAN with 6 users with individual workstations and a server (windows server 2003).
    Is it possible to configure a workstation in such a way that they would make newspaper-on the system using only a user ID?
    Currently all users can connect from any workstation using his ID and password. I want to avoid this.
     
    For example:
    The USER is a user who uses a WS-1 station,
    B the USER is a user who uses WS-2 workstation,
    USER-C is a user using the workstation WS-3
    then currently USER 1, USER 2 and USER-3 can log - on the system from any workstation using a credential.
     
    I want to avoid this.
     
    What I want is, WS-1 workstation can only be connected to the USER-A credentials, the WS-2 workstation can only be connected by the credentials of the USER-B and so on.
     
    Is this possible?

    Hello Chetan,

    You're in the wrong Forum for this type of question which is one most appropriate for the ad server and group policy (with possibly the local policy on the workstations).  I would move this if I could, but we do not have this feature in our magic Toolbox.

    To start, see if the information contained in this TechNet article help: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/3639e354-3a41-41b9-bf2e-74abc49e23d6/user-permision-on-workstations.

    If not, then open a new question/thread in this same forum http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/ and ask your question there.  I am sure that you will get detailed advice covering both sides of the situation (Server and workstation) better than here where there is a tendency to focus only on client computers, not servers, unless that quite simple (and being an MCSE, I know that's not really simple - but it also isn't really very difficult if you understand the basics - and even then they should be able to help) to find articles or provide instructions to pass you this part).  I have no doubt that they can also bring about changes, you need to establish which are specific to the workstation (and maybe even have a model of batch file to semi-automate the process - but now I'm guessing / hoping).

    In any case it is really where you should start and return only if explain you what it is about the customers that they cannot handle and need us to help you (because I can't imagine that happening).

    Good luck!

  • How to prevent users from changing the network connection?

    Hi all

    I have a weird problem. I set up my HP ThinPro T610, I have to say is simple enough. I want users just to turn on the computer, wait a few minutes and log into the Terminal Server Services on the Server RDP connection, so I basically blocked every user of things could possibly click - they have no taskbar, etc. Connection Manager.

    Now, there's one thing I can't block - 10 seconds, users can see "Network connection" pop up, in which they can - at my enormous disbelief -change the connection settings.

    I can't find a way to block this... everyone can share their experience with this issue?

    Hello

    Hope you use thinpro 5 OS

    Could you please try these step

    1 log in administrator mode

    2 Goto advanced - Xterminal regeditor and type

    3. go in config wizard

    4. change the value to enablenetworkcheck and save and reboot

  • Windows XP prevents me from installing the new hardware as my Canon camera and memory card reader.
