yea you can change a limited to an administrator account, but then you might as well just give them administrator accounts all the time, as your security is destroyed at this point, defeating the whole purpose of giving them a limited account in the first place.

If I had bad intent and was presented with a temporary administrator account, I would use the opportunity to set myself up to pwn the computer at a later date, or take the opportunity to install my goodies.
Which is why I said:

I would like to do it where, the teacher can add the EXE files and all it's associated file into a folder, and then when teh time comes the user will be able to install and uninstall those when they are doen with them, so they wont be installing something they dont need, or unstalling somethign they need/or is required to have for teh class.
Maybe you didnt understand because of my typos, so sorry bout that, but now that i said it again, do you know a way to do it like I said, which I'll say again. Add the EXE and associated files to a folder and only allow the user to install those programs in said folder, and not be able to install anything not in those folders. That way the cant install their "goodies". I could make it where they cant access it in anyway, and that would take care of that problem. So please read over it again, and see if yall can help me. Thanks again

P.S. If this reply seems rude to any of you at all. I'm sorry, having a bad day.
