Hi, I'm trying to load a program onto our computer under
only my profile without it loading/affecting or being
seen by my husband's profile. This is probably such a
simple answer, I just don't know where to look.

Help would be greatly appreciated.

Thx.
 
Hi,

A lot depends on the program and what it allows. I would install it under
your profile, and move any program icons or shortcuts to your personal
folders. If the program sets up and autoload at boot, disable it, then place
shortcut in your personal startup folder.

Place icons here:

C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Desktop
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Start Menu\Programs

And startup shortcuts here:

C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

And remove any in the AllUsers folders.
