| I tried in the Windows 2000 track general forum, but got no response, so I'm starting to spam the Windows forums.
I suppose the Win2k gurus are here, so maybe someone can help me out...
Here's my problem. I installed Win2k at home, and I created user accounts for everybody in the family. When I want to install something new, I logon as Administrator and install the thing. As Administrator, I can use it all right. BUT, if I logoff and logon as myself, the damn thing won't work. Can anybody tell me what the heck is going wrong?!
TIA | |

Most likely a permissions issue.
1) As a test, temporarily add the user to the administrators group. Does that change anything?
2) You could use auditing to find which file accesses are stopped by lack of permissions.
3) Did you change the default permission settings in Windows?
4) Tell us more about in what way the application fails. Any error message? Anything in the event log?
5) Go back to Unix. Ooobs, wrong forum!

| Terje,
I moved the answer in the "Windows 2000 track general" forum.
Cheers! | |

| It sounds like you need to log in as administrator and add your account to the local administrators group.

This is exactly what I'm trying to avoid. The way I see it, only the Administrator should be allowed to install programs, but all users should be allowed to use those programs.
