How do I prevent other users on my computer from using certain programs on Windows XP from their accounts??

For example I dont want my little brother using MSN messenger from his account on XP.

I tried right clicking on the program then going into properties but the security tab isnt showing.

I know this is possible because Ive done it before on XP before I formatted the computer.

Thanks

i think it through control panel then administation tools

 

did you check into the user accounts section as far as allowing programs ? Or ?

 

When you right click a program in windows XP it brings a window with properties options for that program. In that window it's suppose to have a secuity tab which then lets you modify as to who are allowed access to that program from their log-in accounts in windows XP.

This option is not showing when I do this

 

Is this an SP2 feature? If so do you have SP2 installed?

 

goto my computer, then c:\ documents and settings then click on your user name in there example winxp.admin then right click on properties click sharing then uncheck share this folder on the network no way neone can get into your **** at all unless they delete your password on there acoount

 

you have to disable simple file sharing to see the security tab. this is in Folder Options -> View.

 

Thanks Goofball, you are a computer wizard. Exactly what I was looking for.
