Title: Need to limit users privledges
Post by: theomen on September 16, 2002, 01:42:43 PM

Recently I\'ve had someone using my computer, and they\'re a complete novice, and I want to stop them from downloading programs (mostly porn sites, that have dialers...I don\'t want to pay 3 bucks a minute for them to masturbate)

I have him setup with his own account on XP, and myself as the admin.  What do I need to do to stop his ability to download and install programs?

I did that already, but after he was on my comp I checked, and low and behold there was a dialer for some teen porn sight.  I just hope he didn\'t use it.

Well you can do what I did by installing a download prog such as download accelerator and then deny him access to it so he can\'t download anything.  He\'ll get an error message cuz he doesn\'t have sufficient rights.

ben, I actually think that being forced to watch porn with your mom, might actually work.

anyways, I got net nanny and since he\'s a n00b he won\'t know how to bitch slap the proggie, so I should be set.

Yeah, and you can see what he\'s been doing.  It\'s a cool program.  You can also only allow him to surf the net during certain hours of the day.  It\'s a great program, as long as the kid doesn\'t know any ways around it.  

I hope logan doesn\'t get smart...  Although he has already hacked this forum once so no telling what that kid can do.
