Daughter can't use program under her sign-on

Hi
We use XP Home Edition SP2, I am an administrator & my teenage Daughter is a
limited user (these are only choices). She can open the application on her
setting ( I am talking about SonicStage, it's Sony's application for her MP3
player) but she cannot transfer a music files etc. it says 'as limited user
you might not have sufficient permissions'.

I have downloaded a XP Permissions Manager which now gives the 'security'
tab and given her full control of the Sony folder. However, I am still
getting the same result.

I didn't want to make her an administrator so was wondering if there was
anyway around this?

Would be very grateful for any advice as teenage girls can be stroppy!!
Thanks
Gloria

Contact the creators of the software package in question and/or read their
support web page, etc. If it can be worked around - those who wrote and
support the software are more likely to know said workaround than anyone
else.

PS If you are using the default Administrator Account as your login this
isn't advisable, problems with recovery if Admin account becomes iffy.
Create a new account with Administrative Privileges and use this
