OK this may be a stupid question but...
With Windows XP that has many limmited accounts and one admin account, how
can I make it so one of the user accounts can use a program without needing
an Admin password?
I am trying to allow Steam to run for a user account but don't want to
change the account to admin. It would be fine in all the user accounts can
run this program but I just don't want to allow full access for the accounts.
Any help would be appreaciated. Thanks!
 
Actually thats a tough one,not stupid..Try R.clicking on the start icon of
the
program to run,select,create a short-cut,R.click on the shortcut after its
created
and select move to my documents,once in my documents,L.click the short cut,in
the sub menu on left,select move this file,move to user account...

This can be done but takes some extra work to accomplish. MVP Rick Rogers
has written a page that covers various software installation and use
situations. You can find that page here:
http://www.rickrogers.org/xpsware.htm

On that same page (under item #2), you'll also find a link to an MS
Knowledge Base article that walks you through the steps of setting
permissions for that program so that the limited user can access it.
