New User in Windows 8

Is it possible to create a user that doesn't have your programs and desktop?

I've been trying to create a user that doesn't share the same desktop as the administrator, since I don't want my brother to be playing my Steam games.

Or am I just being retarded and there is an obvious way to do it that I have not realized? I remember doing it in Windows 7, but Windows 8 screwed it up for me. To be more precise, Windows 8.1.

Any help?

Gaming rig:

i5-4670k, H100i, MSI Z97 SLI, Vengeance DDR3-1600 2*4GB, 840 EVO 250GB, Barracuda 1TB, GTX 780 Ti, 450D, CX750, VG248QE

Workstation:

Xeon E3-1231 v3, NH-U14S, Asus Z97-PRO, Ballistix Sport DDR3-1600 2*8GB, 840 EVO 250GB, 2*WD Red 2TB (RAID 0), GTX 780 Ti, Define R4, AX760, VS229H-P

um yeah it's really easy just make a new user. and only download steam on the admin account. they're (the games) linked to your account so even if he wanted to play them he'll need your passkey.
