    Restrict Hide access to programs by user


    We recently installed several new Win10 computers one of which will be shared by several users. More a matter of limited space than anything else.There are a couple programs on the one unit we do NOT want other users to have access to, let alone see in the start menu or as a desktop short cut.I found this old message that appears to solve our problem. Will it?https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/blocking-and-allowing-a-certain-program-to-a-user/6322c37f-294b-4f75-a155-05dc452f2efcThis image give an idea of what we want other users to see: &nb

    Restrict program access and startup for second user?


    Is there any easy way to restrict program access and startup for second user?

    I need to share my pc for a short time, and would want to restrict what programs show in startmenu and start at boot. Tried a new local account and new family member, but dont see any program restriction controls.

    Was looking also for some software that maybe can control this?

    Restrict user from accessing any programs but one (win 10)

    I'm running Windows 10 and I have two separate accounts, mine (Administrator) and user 2 (local account). I want to restrict user 2 from accessing any programs save for a web browser and np++.

    I looked it up and the method suggested is usually GPO restricted groups, however I'm not sure those are safe enough.

    here's an example of solution for earlier windows versions

    Unable to set restriction for local user in Windows 10

    Hi,



    I realized your concern and will assist you to resolve the issue.


    • How did you noticed that user is still able to access the drive?

    • Did you log into the local user account and check the permission?
    I suggest you to follow the steps below to restrict the user.

    • In File Explorer, right click on the drive which you want to restrict.
    • Click Properties.
    • Click the Security tab.
    • Click on Edit to change the permissions.
    • Uncheck all the permission for system.
    • Click OK and make sure the change is applied to all subfolders and files.


    Your reply is very important for us to ensure a proper resolution. Please get back to us with the above information in order to assist you accordingly.

    Thanks and regards.
