There are 4 users on our computer using XP Home edition.
I have given myself administrator rights and the other 3
have been assigned user rights. Some of the programs I
have loaded can only be run (used) by me. For example, I
loaded "The Ultimate Rollercoster" for my daughter. I
can run the program under my user name but the program
cannot be used by my daughter while in her user profile.
Why is this. I thought the whole idea behind having an
administrator is so that other users can "use" but not
install or delete things from the computer to preserve it
in an operating manner? Is there something, other than
giving everyone administrator rights, that I can do to
allow everyone else on the computer to run software I
install?
I would appreciate some help here.
Thanks
Ray
