    account help
    « on: November 10, 2010, 10:59:53 AM »
    I have win xp pro and an  admin  and a  limited account on it.

    When I am on the  admin or limited account  I can right click the camara I have pluged into the USB port and left click properties and pick were it puts photos automaticly and it works.

    But I see whatever I set up in one account will make it so on the other account.

    Why can't I have eatch account work by it self?

      I am soory you reply did not come to me.
      And I think I asked in a rong way

      I have win xp pro and stup an  admin account and a  limited account.

      S everyone on the  Limited account can't mass up systemn files and go into other hard drives and do things.

      But I see that things I have setup on the Admin account like were to put photos when a camara is pluged into the USB. Stays the same on the Limited account.

      And a lot of things for the programs stay the same . However I have things on the Admin account  stay the same for all Limited accounts.

      So if I make all account Admin account they will all work and people can make changes for them selve am I right?

      Like when people plug in a camara on the Limited account they want there photos to go to were they want not were I want my photos to go on my Admin account.

      So if I make all accounts  admin   can they mass up system files and get into other hard drives and Delette things?

      This is why I have all  Limited accounts but my  Admin account.

      Please helpo

      I am not sure if the whole idea of making each account an admin account will work, but I have another solution.
      What if I created a batch file that you could place on the root folder of your camera? When the batch file is ran, it would detect which user account is being used and then copy the pictures to the appropriate location. If you want to do this, then you need to give a good explanation of the folders on your camera, where the pictures are located, and the drive letter.

        thats sound good but it seems like a lot to go through.

        I realy thought every Limited account could have it's own place setup.

        Like I say I pluged the camara in when I was on Limeted account and right click camara and set it up. And then I did the same thing on Admin account.

        And only one place will work for all. I thought this is because all the accounts had to be Admin?
        And then I thought I was doing it incorectly
