Security app

[Doomulation]

Umm, I'm looking for a good software that can actually do what xp's limited account does...mainly because xp limits limited account to installing software. But I want some (other users( to be able to do this. Install games and stuff.

Yet, I don't want them to be able to change the computer settings....hm, i think you understand what i mean.
The question is, is there an application that can limit these feautres and make sure it doesn't affect all users (like the policy editor in xp :getlost.
Another nice thing would be to block them from installing into folders. Like settings permissions. I can't get the security tab to show...i'm not ntfs, but i can't set permissions...

Can someone help?

1) I have no idea.

2) FAT32 doesn't support permissions.

2) You're absolutely right. Unless using some application which keeps this. One example was Z-Protect, but it only works under Win9x.

But then, on the drives i wish to restrict access, i use ntfs but i can't get the security tab visible so i acn set permissions!

Create a new user group in XP, add / remove the permissions / restrictions you want and place the user you want in that usergroup... And setting folder permissions in XP with FAT32 is a no show, it can only be done with NTFS...

Oh, yeah, it is kinda hidden... I think you have to turn off Simple File Sharing or something really weird like that.

Thank God KDE doesn't try to decide what's too advanced for me.

I'm using ntfs
And i can't add usergroups; already tried. It says the service workstation isn't running...dunno if you need a server or something...

Go into services.msc and re-enable the Workstation service.
