I’m the only user of my computer who needs to use Word, but the Office installation routine has set up each of the applications for all the users of the computer. How can I prevent the other users from using Word?
What you’re asking for here is the kind of thing that administrators of Windows-based networks can do easily by using group policies. But I’m guessing that you’re asking about a standalone installation, in which case there’s no option to install Word (or, more generally, Office) for only one or some of the machine’s users. Instead, the installation routine automatically makes Word (or Office) available to all users.
The best fix for this problem is to get another computer for the other users. The next best fix is to set up your computer as a dual-boot machine: one operating system with Office (or Word) for you, the other operating system without it.
If neither of these simple fixes appeals to you, follow this involved series of steps to approximate the effect you want. You’ll need a copy of Tweak UI (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/), as well as access to the other user accounts on your PC:
-
If you haven’t already applied a password to your user account and made it private, do so. Choose Start » Run, type
control userpasswords, and press Enter to open the User Accounts window. Click your account, click Create a Password, type the password twice, and click the Create Password button. When Windows XP asks if you want to make your files and folders private, click the Yes, Make Private button. -
Install Word (or Office) in a private folder within your user profile, rather than in the Program Files folder (the default and recommended location). That way, other users won’t be able to access it directly through Windows Explorer. Even when you do this, however, the installation routine creates Start menu shortcuts and other associations that let the other users of your computer start the Office applications. You’ll have to deal with these as well.
-
Still in your user account, open a Windows Explorer window to the Documents and SettingsAll UsersStart MenuPrograms folderthe folder that contains items that appear on each user’s Start menu. Choose Start » Run, type
%userprofile%Start MenuPrograms, and press Enter to open another Windows Explorer window to your own Programs folder. Drag the Microsoft Office folder from the all-users’ Programs folder to your Programs folder. Go up one level in each window to the Start Menu folder, and drag the New Office Document shortcut and the Open Office Document shortcut from the all-users’ folder to your folder. This removes the Office-related items from the Start menu. -
Log on to the first of the other user accounts and do the following:
Run Tweak UI and use the Templates feature (see Figure 1-3) to delete all the Office-related items from the New submenu on the context menu for a Windows Explorer window (or the Desktop).
Figure 1-3. Use Tweak UI to remove Office items from the New submenu of the Windows Explorer shortcut menu to prevent other users from running Word.
Choose Start » My Computer to open a Windows Explorer window; then choose Tools » Folder Options and click the File Types tab. Click the File Types column heading to sort the Registered File Types list alphabetically. Scroll down to the items starting with «Microsoft Office» (for Office 2003) or «Microsoft» (for Office XP or Office 2000). Delete all the Office-related items that you can dispense with, and change those you must keep so that they are associated with other applications. For example, you might associate the .doc extension with WordPad or another word processor. Scan down the list for Office icons in the Extensions columnfor example, «Outlook» items are listed separately, and the Rich Text Format file type is usually associated with Wordand delete or change them as necessary.
-
Repeat Step 4 for each of the other user accounts that you want to restrict.
If a user starts one of the Office applications, the Windows Installer installs that application and its helper applications in the Program Files folder and creates a Start menu item for that application if there isn’t one already.

1. Read and translate the text:
As
well as the hardware (= the machines), you also need software (=
the programs needed to work the machines). These programs are on disks, for
example: the hard disk inside the computer, or floppy disks
or on CD-ROMs (= Compact Disc Read Only Memory, a CD on which you can put a
large amount of information).
В Operating a computer
Using the mouse, you can do a number of things by clicking on different
icons (= moving the mouse to point at different pictures at the top of the
screen).
С What
do people use computers for?
1. Many
people use their computers for word processing, for example:
writing letters and reports.
2. A
lot of business people use spreadsheets (= a program used to enter and
arrange numbers and financial information) and databases (= programs which
allow you to store, look at or change a large amount of information quickly and
easily).
3.
Some people also use graphics (= the
pictures and symbols a computer program can produce).
D Important vocabulary
More and more people are becoming computer-literate
(= have experience of working with computers and know how to use them) as many
programs and machines are so user-friendly (= easy to use). You can now connect
your computer to computers all over the world using the Internet. People
send each other e-mail (electronic mail) messages using this system or network.
If your computer is slow it may need
more memory. It may crash (= stop working) if there is not enough
memory or if it has a bug (= a software problem; also a virus). Make
sure you make a back-up copy of your work (= an extra copy on a floppy
disk).

CHECK YOUR ENGLISH VOCABULARY FOR BUSINESS AND ADMINISTRATION
11. IT and e-commerce
Exercise
1:
Read this (not very technical)
description and replace the underlined expressions with a more appropriate
word or expression from the box.
This is my new 1. computer that sits on top of a table
or desk (I’ve also got a 2. small computer which can be carried and held on your knees.)
As you can see, there are six main 3. parts to it. The first is the 4. part of the computer that runs it
and controls what it does, and this is the most important bit. It
carries the 5. part that stores
and controls the flow of information, including the 6. round thing that is used for storing
information. Mine has a particularly high 7. capacity for storing information,
which means that it’s much faster than most. It came with its own 8. computer
programs package (including one for 9. writing, checking and changing texts, one for 10. calculating in columns of figures,
and one for 11. producing
texts and pictures for magazines). You can also 12. put in other programs using
the 13. sliding tray for carrying
round, plastic, information-holding things, or the 14. hole for connecting computer parts
to one another (into which you can put a 15. small plastic and metal object which
can hold a lot of information).
The other five parts of the
computer are the 16. screen
that lets you see what your computer is doing, the 17. flat thing with the letters and
numbers on it that let you control the computer, the 18. machine that lets you make copies of
the documents that you create on your computer, the 19. device for making colour copies of photographs
and other documents which you can put onto your computer and last
but not least, the 20. device
that you hold in your hand and move across your desk to control the cursor.
In my opinion, the best thing
about modern information technology is the 21. network that links millions of computers
from around the world. Once you’ve got yourself a 22. company that allows you access
and a 23. program that
finds information you can start using this. It’s especially useful
if you want to get information about something, go shopping or 24. transfer information, games,
music, etc, onto your own computer. You can even ‘talk’ to other computer
users in 25. special places
where you can leave messages and get instant replies. If you have a
particular interest in something, you can also visit 26. places on the computer where you can
‘talk’ to other people with the same interest.
Most companies have their own 27.
special computer pages
which you can look at. Let me 28. turn the computer on, enter my code and access the computer
system, and I’ll show you ours. OK, here we go. Oh no, another 29.
advertisement that suddenly
appears on the computer screen. How annoying. Let me just remove
it. That’s better.
Now, I can never remember the
exact address of our company, so first of all I’ll type it into the 30. Program that helps you find the
information you want. OK, A and C Black Publishing‘. The
computer identifies the 31. most important or main words and then
gives me 32. connections
to a list of possible sites. This one looks right: ‘www.acblack.com’.
That’s the company’s 33. officially
registered website address. I’ll click on that.
Bingo! Here’s our 34. front page. You can use this
to find the different books that we publish, and if you want you can even
buy them 35. through the
computer. Hmm, this book looks good: ‘Check your English Vocabulary
for Business and Administration‘. Now, before I 36. exit this site, I’ll just 37.
add it to my list of favourites
so that I can find it more quickly next time.
Perhaps the most important
thing, however, is 38. a
special electronic letter-sending facility, which allows you to
communicate with people around the world in an instant. Let me quickly
check mine. First of all, I need to enter my 39. special word that allows me to enter
the system. That’s it. Oh dear, nothing very interesting. Mainly a
load of 40. unwanted
advertising. I’ll just 41. remove it: I don’t particularly want to have a new home extension,
pass my bank details to a «solicitor» in Nigeria or buy a pill
that’s guaranteed to improve my love life.
There’s something here from
one of our suppliers with a / an 42. document or file that has been sent with it. You have to
be careful with these: sometimes they contain a 43. hidden routine placed in the program
that destroys or corrupts files. If you open it, it can do all
sorts of horrible things to your computer. We had one last week that kept 44.
shutting down our system.
We do have 45. something
on our computer that protects against this sort of thing, but it’s
a bit out of date: we really ought to 46. bring it up to date.
