ok i created another Admin Account, but in it i see that appear also other admin's installed programs

i want the 2 admin accounts completely indipendent each other..so that if i install a program on 1st account it won't be installed on 2nd and vice versa

thanks

Install the programs then delete the short cuts of the programs you dont want on the accounts?

Not possible unless you do a dual boot.

XP Cant do what you want. The only resolution you have is to literally install XP again.
