I set up Win2K on my son's computer with me as an
administrator and he as a restricted or other user. When
he tries to run just about any program (including
encyclopedias and games) errors and conflicts occur. I
then have to log in and run them.
Is there a fix, or am I missing something and that's how
it is supposed to be?
Any help?
 
We do something similar, except our systems are in a domain, and our family
PC runs XP Pro.

Do you have any Microsoft software installed, Office, any games or Encarta?
Because that would make a great test case. Specific errors from a common
program would be great to have as well.

How about IE, OE, Wordpad? Presumably, he can save documents to his
userprofile My Documents folder.

What are the rights on Program Files? Is his account in a group that has
appropriate rights to Program Files?
