RE: Adding a program for a limited user

On further reflection, are you sure, really sure, tht you have the execute
file?

I know my first attempt with Outlook express gave me the same result you had
and when I checked further I found I didn't have the execute file. If
nothing else, you might try to pull up the properties and copy the path to
the clipboard and then pull up word pad or something and paste the result in
there. That way you can know for sure.

I don't know what Nero is, but are the games internet games or are they stand
alone games? If they are internet games, you will also have to set up or
share an internet connection.

Sebastian,

I don't have any experience with XP. I just got this computer about two
weeks ago and I am feeling my way around it.

The program I was trying to add was Outlook express and the method I
outlined worked for that.

It might help if you told us the program you are trying to add.

Bill,
I logged as the user where to add the program to and I was able to locate
the executable file but when I doble-click that, it seems nothing happened,
it just like refreshing the page.

Sebastian,

I was finally able to do the program add by logging on in my indentity,
select the program you want to add to the other user and right click to
obtain the properties. that will give you the path to the execute file for
the program. Log off as you and log on as the user you want to add the
program to. go to "all programs" select "accessories" then select "Explorer".
Go to local disk and programs, find the program you want to add and select
the execute file. Double click it to make sure it works and then you can go
back to your explorer window and right click the executable file to put a
short cut on the users desk top. It worked for me at any rate.
