Hi.
Can anyone tell me if there is a way of limiting the access to som
programs on one user account?

Let me explain why.....
I have 2 children who both have their own log-in, as well as myself an
my partner, which is fine.
The problem is that when they use the PC they both log-in to messenger
again this is usually ok, except when they need to concentrate on thei
homework.
So we have set up a specific log-in for homework, but we can't find
way of disabling some of the programs (for instance - and especially
Messenger) on THAT account.
I have been through the limited 'Homework' account trying to remov
some programs, to find they have been completely removed for all users
and therefore have had to re-instate them.

Hope someone can help.

Easyit way is to change the permissons of the directory that contains
