Hey All,

I'm not sure if this is a thing, or if I need to post somewhere else. If I need to remove or anything, please let me know.

Basically I have some games on my laptop that are not kid friendly, however, I can't always be around my laptop watching my kids.

I was wondering if there is a way to password protect, or block certain programs.

If I need to create another profile on my Window's computer, I can do that as well.

I am in IT, but my home setup isn't an enterprise design (not yet haha).

An example program is GTA 5.. So when my kids (and my nieces) come over, they'll launch the game and start playing.

The reason I'm not denying access to the laptop is that there are some kid friendly games that they do play.

I just don't have the money to dish out for at least 2 additional laptops.

So is there a way that I can lock certain apps on my laptop? or maybe create another profile and restrict what apps are seen on the other account?

>> If it's the latter of the 2.. I can create the account, but I'm not sure where to go to restrict what apps can be seen. I hope this makes sense.

If any additional specs is needed, feel free to let me know.
