How can I install software onto only the administrator (me) user account?

That's a function of the software installer. If it ends up with

shortcuts in "All Users", just move them.

how do I move them ? When I try under each individual, I am told that an

administrator is the only one who can do this??

when I am logged on as administrator, how then do I remove shortcuts, etc

from other users?

You just move them from the "All Users" folder to "your" folder by "Drag

and drop". R-click on the Start button, and select "Explore All Users".

bib,

You might want to move the shortcut to the program out of the All User area

and into his own Start menu area.

 

In greater detail,

Start || Rtclk on MyComputer || Explore || C: Drive (or whatever drive he's

used for Win XP) || Documents and Settings || All Users || Start Menu ||

Programs || Move the desired folder or file from here to -- || Documents and

Settings || Joe HotShot AdminGuy (or whatever his account name is) || Start

Menu || Programs and drop the moved folder/file here.

 

This is all based upon the program installer software (not the person)

wanting to install the program in the All User area.
