Looking for an Install Blocker program

I am looking for a type of program that would need a password in order to install any additional programs onto a system.
Trying to keep certain person(s) within our company from installing programs without my prior knowledge or consent.

Any suggestions?

what operating system are you using.

If you have XP then
You could make just your account the administrator account and the rest of the accounts make them limited.

with a limited account in xp they can only use the files they cannot change them.

they could not install software
but still be able to use the programs

 

Sorry.... not thinking.

We have a dozen CPUs on the LAN all but (1) is Win98 SE. The last one is WinXP. It is a peer-to-peer network and we use MS Outlook to correspond to each other.
Each system has various software/programs but they all have the basic MS Office items installed.

I am looking for a program that I can load onto several of the Win98SE CPUs, set a password that would be needed in order to load on any/all additional software.

We have a couple of people that keep loading on unnecessary (ie games) programs and I want/need to put a lock on that sort of thing as most of the people here (many self-admittingly) are not computer savvy. And if they download a program and install it then have problems, guess who they run to.... me.

From the site description:

 

very simple way of doing this if using internet explorer is

At the top of your browser window, select "Tools"
Select "Internet Options" from the drop down window
Click on the "Security" tab
Select "Custom Level"
Scroll down to "Downloads" - "File Downloads"
Check the "Disable" circle
Click "OK" to close that window
Then click "OK" to close the other window
All done!

unless they know how to enable this they will not be able to download

 

I will have a review of WinLock up soon. Very nice software I must say.
