How do i remove a program on my account [on the computer], but keep it on my sister's and parents?

Question

i want to remove Limewire on my account, then re add it, but i want it to stay there -and the same- on everyone else's account. how do i do this?

Answer 1

when you re add it, it will be on everyone's account but in a different  place. Personally I wouldn't add limewire, uninstall it and add

utorrent and learn some stuff on downloading torrents

Answer 2

Hmmm. Good question.

Answer 3

If you are the computer's Administrator,  sorry! I don't think you can do it, because any other account is only allowed to use  a program that is primary attached by the Administrator program.

I hope this answered your question

Right up front, I'm not familiar w/ Limewire, but I'll base my answer on installing many applications over the years.  I'm also going to assume you are using XP.  When you remove an application, you remove it completely.  When an application is available to multiple users on the same computer it is done through a 'shortcut.'  This save gobs of disk space by not having to install the same binaries over and over again.  To remove easy access to a program from someone's account, simply delete the shortcut from their start menu and/or desktop.  Depending on the program, each user will have their files stored in their "My Documents" folder for easy and secure access.

If you just want your particular files to be stored separately from everyone else's files, just navigate to where you want them, or find a setting in the programs preferences that is user specific.
