Hi!
I use my PC for general use, gaming and web development. Currently have Windows Ultimate.
What I am aiming for, is to have three accounts, General / Gaming / WebDev and have different programs installed on each.
However, I do not want the other accounts to SEE these programs (I know I can just hide program icons etc).
But want I want it to replicate, is like having three separate windows 7 machines... just with 3 different accounts.
I know this can be done with a client-server set up.. but this is not really something I want to get into...
I know applocker can deny access.. this is fine.. but ideally I would want the accounts to not even have visibility of the programs, not just be denied the permission to access them.
Could I install the programs to the user account folder for each account? I think this would do what I want, but is this a good practice to do?
Chrome for example, defaults to install for the current user only, and so is not available (by default) on other accounts.
Any help appreciated!
