Playing games in limited account

[Tuanjie Liu]

Running programs in limited accounts on Windows XP Home system can be
frustrating. I set up an account for my 4-year-old daughter but didn't want
to give her administrator previlege. Problems appeared when I tried to
install some of her favorate games. I installed games using my administrator
account. When my daughter ran games in her own account, sometimes she was
required to insert the game CD while it is actually in the drive, sometimes
the autorun program stated to install the game again even it had been
already installed. Could you please share your solutions with me if you have
some? Thanks.

Try this... Maybe it will help? (With a question mark.) Uninstall those
programs. Change your daughter's account to an administrator. (Let me
finish my story here, so you'll understand why I want you to try setting it
as an administrator.) Install the programs with her account. Now change it
back to a limited account and see if that makes a difference.
