I have a multimedia program - A PCTV Program (MYHD) that runs only if I am
logged in as an administrator. If I try to run the program as any other type
of user I get a "Failed to create empty document" error. If I give everyone
full control permission to the directory that holds the application I don't
get that error but get a similar registry error if I am not running as an
administrator. I am running Win XP Pro and the app was installed from the
administrator account. I would like the guest account (or any normal account
for that matter) to be able to run the app. Is there a way to have an
application always run as another user. If I am in the guest account and run
the app as an administrator, It runs fine but I must supply the admin
password every time it runs. I would like a guest to be able to run the app
without having to supply an admin password each time they run it.

Thanks in Advance

You'd need a third party app to do this, I believe. Rather than do it this
way, have you looked into finding out what the app requires that the user
have access to, in the file system/registry, and modifying that? See FileMon
and RegMon from www.sysinternals.com

I do get a registry error message but it gives no indication of how to
change the registry key to permit the app to run from a non-administrator
account (Other than using regedit to access the key, I haven't a clue as to
how to edit a key so as to give access permission to a particular user or
group).
I will check out RegMon from www.sysinternals.com tho' .

Subject: Possible Fraud and Multiposted Usenet Spam Complaint

Date: Sun, 07 Nov 2004 03:47:52 GMT
X-Priority: 3
X-MSMail-Priority: Normal
X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2900.2180
X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2900.2180

Hello,

Please be advised, before reading on, that I have decided that I will also
lodge a formal complaint with the FBI's Internet Fraud Complaint Center at
http://www.ifccfbi.gov/index.asp My decision is based on what I have stated
below about the spam claiming "It's a free expert community" and the site's
terms of service requiring payments in US dollars for those asking
questions.

The three usenet posts below are recorded by google as originating from
earthlink.net. The website resolves to IP 209.133.254.230 at syme.com. The
poster is purporting to use a yahoo mail address ((E-Mail Removed) and
(E-Mail Removed)). Those services are included as recipients of this
complaint.

The website being advertised (http://www.askxperts.com/) is a commercial
operation. The front page states, "When you sign up you will have 10,000
points on your account. When you reach 100,000 points you'll get $500." In
order to pay the $500, the site's terms of service require payment from
those asking questions.

The newsgroup charter for one of the crossposted groups is included, FYI.
The charter explicitly forbids commercial advertising of any kind.

Whilst not being familiar with your respective local laws, and not making an
accusation of any kind, I must also echo my concerns over suspicions about
the possible perpetration of fraud, be that deliberate or by way of
oversight. Those concerns are brought about by the fact that not once in the
site's terms of service, nor anywhere else on the site, could I locate
anything that stated how people will receive payment of $500. The site, as
far as I could discern, talks only of how others must pay in US dollars.

Having noted that, the site itself claims "Anyone is welcome to ask or
answer questions for free" and the usenet posts claim "It's a free expert
community", so one is drawn to wonder why the site's terms require payment
for free questions in US dollars.

That the site may be commercial, is, in my opinion, based on the evidence
presented below.

Thank you and kind regards,
John Winfield

Evidence 1
==========
"3. Payment Terms. When you first open your account, AskXperts gives you a
balance, as described in the current Frequently Asked Questions ("HELP").
You shall pay AskXperts the amount of your question value, and we will pay
the experts ("Expert Fee"). You shall also pay any taxes imposed by
governmental agencies of whatever kind and imposed with respect to all
transactions under the Agreement, including penalties and interest (If
any). When AskXperts has the legal obligation to pay or collect such taxes,
the appropriate amount shall be billed to and paid by you.

All payments due are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise agreed by AskXperts in
writing."

Direct link to Terms: http://www.askxperts.com/terms.asp

Additionally and totally contrary to the claims of the terms of service
["AskXperts gives you a balance, as described in the current Frequently
Asked Questions ("HELP")], the faq/help text DOES NOT in any way that I
could tell, describe such a process. It only states, in limited words,
how one creates an acount.

http://www.askxperts.com/help.asp#1a

Evidence 2
==========
The site includes links to commercial and regularly blacklisted web-traffic
link exchanges.

Evidence 3
==========
In all three posts, the content does not change. Additionally the very same
content has been posted into other newsgroups. Additional samples attached
at end. The final sample records verizon.net as the originating host, which
leads me to reasonably conclude that the person may have had other accounts
terminated or suspended for prior spamming activities.
