XP user accounts / program access
I am just setting up a friend's PC for him and have given all members of the family their own user account on Windows XP home edition.
The adults are set up as administrators and the kids as users. Is there a way to stop MSN messenger installing for all users? The solution I thought would work would be install an individual copy in each user's private home directory but even that doesn't seem to be an option with MSN.
Any Ideas?

on Home edition it's a bit tricky. You can remove it in control panel in add/remove programs, also remove windows messenger in add/remove windows components which is in the same place. The user rights for the kids will stop them installing messenger. Thread on here a while back about this.
