Windows Vista Password to Install an application on shared access

melvinjn · 2009/06/08

hi all

I would like to know if there is a software or a system setting that will ask a password to install application on a shared system. Like to know if this is possible on a Admin account in vista and xp.

Thanks in advance

Is the application installed as "only for this user ", otherwise it is installed for everybody?

Can I protect files or folders with a password?

No, you can't use a password to protect files and folders in Windows. However, some programs that run on Windows do allow you to protect individual files by using a password. For more information, check the Help for the program you are using.

There are other ways to protect your files and folders in Windows. You can encrypt your files, manually specify who can access the folders or files, or hide them. Choose your method based on how secure the folders or files need to be. Encrypting is the most secure, while hiding the folders is the least secure.

Note
The ability to encrypt files and folders is not available in Windows Vista Starter, Windows Vista Home Basic, and Windows Vista Home Premium.
