how do I stop another user on my computer downloading software on their account?

manicminer2007 asked:


Another user on a different account on my computer keeps on downloading software onto the computer without permission. I am running Windows XP home edition and want to know how to block any unauthorised downloads. This other user does not have administrator rights.

Jamil

   Hm, with a limited-user account it shouldn’t be possible to install anything. OK, it’s possible to download it, but it shouldn’t install. See:

   I can’t think of any easy way to stop them actually downloading.
