File attributes & access rights

[ConnollyJ_p]

I recently installed XP Home Edition V5.1. I have setup
4 users on the system, one as an administrator
the other 3 as limited accounts.

I then installed a LabTec webcam (from the admin account)
and gave all users access. The cam works fine
except when I want to take a still Pic. The still
picture is saved in the each users directory
My Document\My Pictures\Labtec\Album\Pictures. When
logged onas the admin this works fine, however the limited
accounts get the message " Drive C: is not accessable or
not ready". Any other application (word, notepad, paint)
can write & save to the dir. I have reported this to
Labtes but they tell me it is a XP issue.

I have tried the following

1) Changed the limited account to admin. The Picture is
saved fine.
2) Checked the file and directory settings are R/W
3) deleted the directory & recreated
4) Coppied the directory sttructure from the admin
account
5) reinstalled the app

Nothing apears to work.



Help, before I go mad.

If you are certain that it saves to each account's
My Documents\My Pictures\Labtec\Album\Pictures
and you have verified that each account has the needed
NTFS permissions on that folder, then it may be that it
is using temp space somewhere and the limited accounts
lack permissions there.

Get filemon from www.sysinternals.com and try using this
to see where access is actually failing. You will need to
log in as a limited user and use RunAs to run filemon as an
admin during the testing.
