Many thanks for your response. This has added greatly to my understanding.
I've now had a bit more confidence to do some things in User Accounts. I've
set myself an Administrator's password. I think I'd prefer not to give all
users Administrators rights (Not sure what my son might do with that !)
I've followed your suggestion of "Run as different user.". As you say, this
allows other users to use that program, but 1) it means they have to use my
password, and 2) it is not a permanent fix. I thought that after making this
change, the shortcut would work for the other user(s) as normal, but it
looks like they have to go through the "Run as different user..." routine
every time, entering my password.
Have I got that right ?
When you say I could make everybody administrators for the add-ons, and then
change them back, do you mean when I download / install, add-on programs ?
Would I do that change from the dialogue accessed by "control
userpasswords2" ?
Regards.
Mike

the asp.net is windows own network account. not supposed to
show up ,but it does sometimes. if you are not using
passwords, you might as well make every one administrator.
but right click on a shortcut to the program and and choose
run as credencials ,,right click shortcut
,properties,advanced check 'run as different user' ,ok.
strange the the windows viewer would be complaining about
limited user. and an somewhat easy way to copy programs to
the other accounts is too make them administrators for the
add-ons and then change them back. then you know you are
not making a mess with multiple copys.
