You can go to control panel and click on the "user accounts" applet. You can create accounts there and assign the appropriate membership (user vs administrator).

I created now,but how can i restrict him that he cannot install program.is there a configuration to do?Thank you in advance

If you have the UAC enabled, the system would prompt the user for admin credentials prior to allowing the program install ( for Vista and later).

For XP, it's a little more challenging.

@JorgeM,THank you it's working now.
