Re: Ids in Administrator Group

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Evening Mark

Since I had not heard from you or anyone else, I decided to use the Take
Ownership functions and add specific geoups and permission settings to
c:\program files. I used the c:\windows settings and added the miissing user
groups (admins, user, power user, creator owner) with the same permission
settings. I then logged onto id 2 and was able to access c:\program files.

I wish to thank you for the responses and advise that you provided.

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
