Has anyone had any success installing the free version of Adshield
(v1.2)in Windows XP (Home Edition) for multiple users? What I want is
for EACH of three users to be able to right-click a web page and
access the Adshield options "add to block list", "maintain block list"
and "adshield option settings". If you have, please describe how you
did it.

I've tried installing as an Administrator, but Adshield didn't work at
all. I also tried installing into one user account. That user had all
the options available. The other users had Adshield working, but no
right-click options. They were stuck with what the first user chose.

I use to run the adshield faq page at but since adshield went shareware there hasn't been
a new release in a long time so i took the page down

Thanks for the speedy answer, Cashman. I searched all over the net for
a way to use the free version of Adshield with multi-user Windows XP.
Couldn't find the answer till you posted it a few hours after I posted
my question. I've followed your instructions, and it works. So,
anybody else that wants to keep using the free version, download the
small file Cashman recommended-- AdSetup.hta, and follow his
instructions.
