Title: Allowing User Accounts Access to Programs
Post by: Don Bender on November 25, 2004, 08:46:43 PM

I've installed several programs on my PC for my kids to use, but they are unable to open them because they do not have administrator priveleges on their user accounts.  Is there a work around for this?  Thanks!

I'm using Windows XP.  I could give them access, but I don't want them messing with the settings.  I've also got some child safety software that if I give them admin access, they can bypass.

Try installing to the all users folder.
