I'm trying to install software so my son (as a limited user
in WinXP Home) can play on his account. It doesn't work
under limited account privileges. I went to the software
website where they have FAQ's related to my problem. They
suggest I log on as administrator and give the specific user
account Full Control of the directory containing the program
he wishes to run. They also have a link to a microsoft
article to explain how to do this:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/security/learnmore/accesscontrol.mspx
The link explains how to do this using WinXP Professional
edition. I can't seem to find out how to grant permissions
using WinXP Home edition. Anyone have suggestions? Thanks
in advance
Since you're running Windows XP Home Edition, you
must start the computer in Safe Mode, and then log on with an
account that has Administrative rights to have access to the
Security tab. To start in Safe Mode, reboot your computer and
start tapping the F8 key as soon as you see anything displayed
on the screen. Keep hitting F8 until the Advanced Startup
Options menu appears. Use the up and down arrow keys on your
keyboard to select Safe Mode. Hit Enter.
Good luck
