xp did not offer this task. You need to write a small program to achieve this task. Why just using log-in password to avoid unwanted people to use your computer?? You can control the Guess computer the services (programs) that you welling to allow but not all in Host computer. Just do a creation another    user ...

Go to Contolpanel/System and then:\nclick on the advanced tab and then click the first setting button on the top of the window...& then:\nSelect "adjust for best performance"\nif u don't want to lose the visual styles on windows choose the three choice in the bottom of the window.\nand finally click "OK".\nU can also go to Run program from start menu and type "msconfig" in the addressbar and then click "OK"...now System Configuration Utility launches...then, go to the startup tab and remove any program u don't wanna run when the Operating system starts up.\nhope it'll be useful!!

About the best you can do is create a an href to the EXE. There is security in the browser that will stop the file from immediately launching. It prompts the user "do you want to trun this file or save it?" \n\nThere is no way around it!! It is the technology that protects users (including us) from malicious code.\n\nExample:\n\n<a href="C:&#92;Program.exe">Run it</a>\n\nMore than likely your EXE will reside on a shared directory if this is an intanet app. If so, you'll need to use a UNC style path iin the href\n\ngood luck!

I think you need windows xp pro to do that.  With xp pro you can put a password on any function in any program.  You will need to upgrade to pro and put a password on the delete history button.

Unfortunately, I don't think you can...\nunless maybe if you reinstall the program.

I am fairly certain you can, if nothing else by using dosbox (http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/).

You can set the default program for any file type in the "Folder Options" menu you can access either from Windows Explorer or system control. Usually you get useful suggestions which programs can open a file type, but sometimes vastly different file formats share the same ending.\n\nYou should also disable the "hide file extensions for known file types" feature, while you're at it. Changing an extension sometimes is necessary, and can't be done with the default.

Go to a command line and type in "free".  That should give you what you want.

This is a difficult one. I am going to assume that you are using XP professional and that you may be a student using a computer in a lab or some one working at a major company with large network and IT budget, or some one like a parent/sibling is trying to stop you from changing settings there in folder options.\n\nIn XP there is a program called Group policy editor and one of the things you can disable with it is the folder options menu. If the account you are logged in with is not an administrative account you might be lost already. If you are logged in with an account htat has administrative priovelages then goto START and then RUN.\n\ntype in GPEDIT.MSC. if you see a message about access denied then your'e out of luck. A setting in Group policy editor can be set to dissallow the use of group policy editor.\n\nIf you can get into group policy editor then you are moments away from that FOLDER OPTIONS menu.\n\nGo into GPEDIT using the instructions above (Start > run etc)\n\nExpand user configuration by click on the + sign next to it(if it's a minus just leave it). Now expand ADMINISTRATIVE TEMPLATES and the Expand WINDOWS COMPONENTS and the WINDOWS EXPLORER. click on the WINDOWS EXPLORER folder. See there are many settings.\n\nRIGHT click on REMOVES THE FOLDER OPTIONS MENU ITEM FROM THE TOOLS MENU and select PROPERTIES.\n\nClick the option box DISABLED and then click APPLY(just in case) and then OK.then goto FILE and EXIT. Restart your PC and it should be there.

Go to your control panel and click on Add/Remove Programs. On the left, click on "set program access and defaults". You can change it from here.

It sounds like you are trying to install a program that requires administrator level rights and you don't have them. This is common with Windows XP accounts that have restrictions set up for the other users.

you can't really restrict access to this folder like that... not without making your own life harder..well you can but its abit indepth and if you get it wrong it will cause problem with the computer using the folder.. if you are using xp you could give him his own user account as a regular user, not administrator like your account would be... and as the administrator you could apply the content adviser so that most site of a certain type are blocked... he as a regular user will not be allowed to do certain stuff... like install programs and modify settings....\n\nI cant remember if user level restricts access to the temp folders in the sense to simply empty them.. \n\nBut to be honest if someone was on my computer doing something that i didnt want them to do.. i would make it that they just didnt use my computer... they could be opening you up to viruses.\n\ngood luck.\n\nps: perhaps its the facts that you dont find anything in the caches, especially when you haven't cleared it recently, is the proof that he's been doing something dodgy.\n\npps: if you dont mind making your own life narder then reduce your account down to a user lever and use the administrator account to do major stuff, instals etc... then he can't install stuff using your account.... and start the content advisor with a password that only you know.. this way when you use the computer you can turn the adviser off whilst he cant look as dodge stuff.
