Due to the computer getting full of crap whilst kids have been on it I want to restrict other users from accessing folders on the hard drive but allowing them to use a folder for anything they download and not allowing them to install anything.

Cheers

Mr.Cookie

Set yourself as Admin then setup an account for each other person in user accounts (start->control panel) setting permission as needed

Did that and set as limited user

I altered the registry whilst logged as another user to restrict what they ran (RestrictRun) but didnt work properly and cant alter it now, is there a way of altering the registry whilst logged as myself but not restricting what I do.

Mr.Cookie

Sorry Lee can't help anymore than that i've only ever needed to set it up once for a freind and it all worked fine so didn't go into anymore detail at the time

you shouldn't be altering the registry directly unless you know exactly what you are doing.

Your probably after a policy editor.
