The following message is displayed:

fs 2002 is unable to be run from a restricted user acct
and will now exit.Please run program from an acct such as
administrator.

I would prefer that it is run from a limited user acct so
that my son may access from his logon.

Is there a work around for this?

Thanks in advance
Rolf
 
Depends on which version of Windows XP you're running. The Limited accounts
are in Windows XP so the Administrator or accounts with Admin rights can
protect the system from changes. You may want to check out this
information: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;307091

If you're on the Pro version, you can first go into Control Panel/Folder
Options/View tab and all the way at the bottom, take the check mark out of
"Use Simple File Sharing (Recommended)." Close that and go into Windows
Explorer, then navigate to the folder containing the game files. Right
click that folder, selecting "Sharing and Security..." You'll see the
Sharing tab where you can select the Limited account's name, then give the
rights for use of that folder and those files. OK your way out. This
applies only to that single folder.
