How i install something to my xp account without it installing on the other accounts?

Question

everytime i install a program, game or application, it installs it on all the other accounts on the computer, what can i do to prevent this? my dad goes mad when i "download c**p" onto the computer.

Answer 1

You cannot completely hide an installed program. The only thing you can do is to select "Only for this user" or similar  when asked during install and delete it's shortcut folder from All programs. This way you will be the only one with access to that program. If your dad is the admin of that pc he can , despite that above, uninstall your program.
