Is there a way to limit software installation to one particular user or to a specific set of users only? In some software installers, this is available as an option, but in most cases the software just gets installed on all user profiles. I'd like to know if there's a way to prevent that.

This will be for computers running Windows XP, Vista, and 7. If anybody can point me to a related SU topic or a link, it will be much appreciated :) (Been searching for something like this for weeks already.)

Looks like it's a combo of setting permissions and moving shortcuts from one Start menu to another. Thanks for the link. – Isxek Jun 20 '10 at 12:04
