Re: changing user rights yet still have existing programs working

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



Hello tuuf,

Some programs pop up during installation with the question "Only current user or all users of the computer", so maybe a reinstall could help.

If not you can use process monitor from sysinternals, to find the needed registry keys and files/folders where you need more rights for the user accounts:

I have a win2k server with 10 win2k workstations. All the
workstations log
on with the name "administrator" without a password and full
administrator
priviledges. I'd like to change this and give the workstations
limited
priviledges. When I change the log in name from administrator to "new
name"
I can't use any of my programs anymore (even if I set it to the
administrators group). Does this mean I have to uninstall the
programs and
reinstall while I'm logged on under the new name.
What is weird is the program icons are still there like everything is
normal
but when I click on them nothing happens.
help
