I am operating a laptop that also has another users account on it. The other
user is a fiddler and plays with things that he shouldn't play with on
computers, so I have given him a limited account. The problem is I need him
to be able to run and operate Autocad. This program needs to be able to
write to the Registry. but because this users acount is limited it will not
write to the registry, therefore causing an error and not allowing autocad to
run correctly.

Is there a way to allow this program to write to the registry so the user
can run the program correctly, without him becoming an administrator on the
laptop. or is there a program somewhere that I can load up and tell it that
only certain programs should run.

Im operating Windows Xp sp3.

Any help is welcome.

Thanks.

So, give him the rights to write in appropriate registry entities. Or use
"Run as..." feature explicitely for AutoCAD.
