Its not perfect, but i'm improving it. (This version is not my authoring)

When setting a password in the config file, select '2' instead of '1'. The 'any password' is not yet working.

Are you logged in as admin?, all the time?

If you are why dont you use a safe practice by creating a normal user account and use that on a daily basis....far safer for lots of reasons other than stopping people installing software on your PC, it can reduce virus and rootkit etc threats as well. Its the single best way to get a good deal of protection for free, right out of the box, from microsoft.

When logged in as a normal user, any attempt to install any software will ask for the administrator password.

Thats what a normal user account is, amongst many many others, for......

That is a good practice ;)

MS should have the Linux example implemented in every OS, but i guess they're just to dumb to do it....

Group Policy or Software Restriction Policy, but its not that quick/fast to do... just saying.

Edit: Oh, and it wont be password protected. So if you want a windows way to do it, you need to use a non-admin account ;)
