I have 4 profiles set up on my XP Pro home system. I thought that I would be able to install certain software in certain profiles only. For instace, I like Google desktop but my girlfriend doesnt. When I installed it, it got install across all profiles.

Is there a way to accomplish what I am speaking of?
 
Maybe I wasn't clear. When I install Google desktop, for instance, I want to install it in my profile only.

Unless I'm being dense, I don't understand how the link above helps. Is it the correct link?
 
Likely I am dense.

My thought was that you could copy a profile that had Google, and remove Google from your girlfriends profile.
Any offensive aspects of Google desktop can be customized with a left click on the Google word at the top of the IE banner space.

Or remove it completely:
