Share programs/ games
Hi, I have installed a game under a user with Admin. privilege. The user with limited account cannot run the program unless he right click on the icon and select Run As. . I remember setting up the Administrator to keep the files private.
Hi,
I have installed a game under a user with Admin. privilege. The user with limited account cannot run the program unless he right click on the icon and select Run As.. I remember setting up the Administrator to keep the files private. How can I make limited users to run the program or games without having to Run As..? I tried running regedt32 and set permissions on the programs to certain users but it did not work.
Running Windows XP Pro with latest patches. Thanks for your help.

You may need to either:
a) Make the Limited User a Power User which has slightly more priviledges (use Control userpasswords2 to change it)
Use Folder security permissions to allow everyone to RW to the game directory. For XP Home, use CACLS.EXE to change folder permissions.
c) Install the game in a folder other than C:\Program Files and give full control rights for all users.
