Some applications may have several functions, some of which are not to be used by everyone. As an administrator of the computer, Windows Vista allows you to restrict an account from using particular applications or even block the user from using any program on the computer. To do so, run Parental Controls from the Control Panel.

Click the 'Allow or block specific programs' link. Click the 'Can only use the programs I allow' radio button. Windows detects all installed programs on your computer. Select a particular program that you would like to restrict or click the 'Check All' button to select all programs. To browse for a particular program, click the Browse button and locate the appropriate application. Click 'OK'.
