Limited User accounts - Don't work

[John Castle]

When I set my wife and kids up with Limited user account,
programms like Outlook and IE don't work. If I create
Administrator accounts for them everything is fine, but
that defeats the object of having separate accounts ie
ref security of my files. How do I get Limited accounst
to work properly?
Thanks in advance.

John,

What exactly happens when you try to open Internet Explorer? Any error window? or the window just quits. I also see you've posted this in microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admin. Please post the result of following the answers there.

I had the same problem. Office 2000 couldn't set up
(including Outlook) and other programs just refused to
run.

What I did was create the accounts as Admin accounts, set
them all up as required, tested everything out then
changed them to Limited accounts. Everything is working
fine now.
