Making programs unaccessable to other users

[makaroniandcheese]

Hi, I've been trying to find a method of improving my productivity. One way I thought about doing this was to create an isolated user that is distraction-free. However, I haven't found a way to prevent stuff like games from showing up on this isolated user. While sometimes its as simple as deleting a shortcut, other times its much harder to completely remove traces of a program.

 

My question is, is there a way to only have certain programs appear for an individual user, and not others?

NTFS permissions. You can create directory that is allowed to read only by specific user. Or denied by some user.

 

Shortcuts on desktop are global or per user so you can move them from all users to selected user.

 

You can also block some exe files from execute by permissions.

 

You have lot of options in fact.

Thank you for your suggestions, I'll look into implementing some of them.
