Vista Home Premium Conundrum

Hey gang! I've got a question regarding VHP (32-bit): I've set both my wife and I up as admins (security aside) and have turned off the flippin' annoying User Account Control. But when install stuff (Steam for instance), it also appears on my wife's account. How can I make it so that the stuff I install stays on mine only? I know that some software have the option (everyone, just you) but most don't and I'm a bit stumped. Would I have to uninstall the software, turn her account into a standard one and then reinstall.

She installed Pampered Partner (Pampered Chef software..no really...you have a dirty mind!) and its shown up on my account.

I'm still learning to bend vista to my will and could use the help. I'm NOT going to get my uber linux geek ass kicked by second rate software!

Thanks gang!

    Cypher,

    When I dowload anything on Vista it gives me the option to select for just me or another user.
    But as you say it could be that I am an administrator and my wife isn't.

    Haven't you learned yet that you can't bend Vista to your will? The almighty Microsoft God has made it so it bends you to its will! (Don't try to fight it. It's much easier to surrender.)

    Far as I am aware, there can only be one administrator. I think the way you have it now makes everyone a user and no one an administrator.

    Control Z?
