Re: Ids in Administrator Group

I think you can conclude from seeing the folders in ID #1 that the disk or
files are not damaged. Also, the Permissions should now be OK. As Sherlock
Holmes said: "When you eliminate the impossible, what's left is the answer".
I think the profiles of the other two are probably damaged in some way. (I
say this, because the other possibility, Policy settings, would not behave
like this)
I would create a new ID as an experiment, and see what happens with program
files. If that works, you can use the copy feature to move old settings to
new ID's

There is a small possibility that this utility might also do something.

Hi Mark

Results after the execution of SubInAcl

1. I treied to uninstall the Coouinting Program first (via Add/Remove) and
the system gave an error message that basically indicated the program was
not
present. It asked if I wanted to delete the entry in the Add/Remove
listing
and I said Yes (mistake).
2. I logged onto my id and reinstalled the program. On id 1 (original id
in
admin group), the install program listed all the folders under c:\program
files.
3. I restarted my system.
4. Logged onto id 1 and uninstalled the program; restarted my system
5. I logged onto id 2 (still member of admin group); autorun activated
from
CD; and program failed with the same permission error for c:\program
files.
6. I noticed during the install process when the program asked to select
the
install folder it identified c:\program files only. When I installed the
prorgam under id 1 it identified all the folders under c:\program files.
7. Under id 2 I started Windows Explorer and the system gave me the same
access error when I tried to expand c:\program files.

Any additional ideas?

Evening Mark

When I ran the SubInAcl tool, I noticed that their were failures on
various
registry keys. Is that to be expected?

Something is not right in Permissions, since you use Pro.

Hi Mark

I read the article and I fail to see why I need to share c:\Program
Files.
This is the default folder where all programs are installed. All
ids are
a
member of the adminstrator group. Should not they all have access
rightsd
to
the folder. I can see why an id that is a member of the user group
may
not
have the install rights. Additionally, I had installed two other
learning
tools under id 2 and they installed successfully.

Some apps incorrectly need administrator access to those folders.
Home
does
not grant those rights by default to any user except the default
"Administrator" account. ID #1 is probably that account. As default
admin,
you can set the Permissions of any folder or drive to any ID's you
wish.
If you have trouble with getting permissions to show, boot to safe
mode(F8
on restart), and default "Administrator" to make the settings.

I have 3 ids on my home XP desktop (SP 2 and all updates); Norton
Internet
Security and Spy Sweeper (both current) plus other applications.
The
ids are
part of the adminsitrator group (yes I know that they should not
be).
The
learning program installs successfully under id 1. The learning
program
fails
to install under ids 2 and 3. The system displays an error
message
that
indicates that ids 2 or 3 do not have access rights to c:\program
files.
When I check folder settings and set owner option to display,
Windows
Explorer shows Adminstrators.

After the install an icon is placed on id 1's desktop. I switch
to id
2 and
move the icon from id 1's desktop to id's 2 desktop which is
succesfull.

Any idea as to why the access error message to c:\Program Files
and how
to
correct the error state.

Thanks
