Playing on different users

[Whos Next? {Patrick}]

When I try to play a game under the admin. user name I
click the desktop icon and it loads. When my son tries on
his user account it sais no disc inserted. I am confused
the disc is in the drive and it works under my user name.
Help me please?

That is the proper behavior in Windows XP, Patrick. The system protects
itself against Limited user accounts changing files. There are ways to
allow Limited accounts to do certain things, but it depends on which version
of XP (Pro or Home) you're running. Pro is more flexible in the security
department. Check this out:
