Limited User- New Beta Release

[Bill Sanderson]

I've got .615 working on an office machine with two administrator users.
They get a few spurious prompts, but no outright error messages. So--I
don't think this is a problem seen by all .615 installs with multiple users.

I like the idea of removing the app, and cleaning the registy and the
filesystem carefully of all related information, then reinstalling, myself.
However, I'm not sure I can recommend a trustworthy tool for that registy
cleaning.

This is a limitation of the beta. If that isn't acceptable in your
situation, then uninstall is an appropriate choice.

Please check again on this issue when Beta2 is released.

Then the product is useless. Uninstall.

Can you tell me what parts of the registry is being
addressed so I can give my "Limited" account access to
that part of the registry.

Huge swathes of it. If you were to give Limited users wider access to the
Registry, then they would not be Limited users any more. If you want wide
access to the Registry, run as an Administrator.

Hello Bill,

CCleaner works well and RFA (Registry First Aid) very well.
I never had a problem after cleaning with doze.
RFA find the most!

Hi Tom

CCleaner is really "conservative" (on purpose) and safe for registry
cleanings. It´s a basic cleaner and nothing more but that is enough for
most users.

Hello Plun

like the search option and auto safe registry in RFA,
use also Jv16 a lot.
Also NTreopt/Erunt working good for backup and defrag Registry.

Can this app be setup to run as administrator while the user is working in a
limited account?

Also, when I run it in a limited account, there is no complain from the
antispyware. Does that mean it still works to some degree, or is not useful
at all?

This app runs under the current user account--it doesn't run as a service,
which would be necessary for your first thought.

On your second point, I believe that it is of some use--it will scan what
the limited user can see with the definitions that are in place. I'm not
sure what limitations being a limited user places on the real-time detection
mechanisms. Some, I am sure.

I went through and changed the permissions for these registry keys and
Microsoft Antispyware now works normally in all profiles. There are 4
profiles on the machine I did this on so it was pretty tedious but it does
work. You would think that the MS programmers working on this could figure
this out and not limit permissions for registry keys that are created to only
the user that is logged in when the program is installed.

Thanks for the suggestion Dan.......you should think about working for
microsoft, since they couldn't figure this out and you did!
