Sharing a Program File

[Guest]

I finally created user groups on our family computer. All is well, but Print
Shop is the only Program file that can not be shared. "You must be logged on
as an administrator to run this program". I've tried everything and still
cannot seem to share this program.

I finally created user groups on our family computer. All is well, but Print
Shop is the only Program file that can not be shared. "You must be logged on
as an administrator to run this program". I've tried everything and still
cannot seem to share this program.

It sounds like the program is writing to a folder that is not accessible to
users that are not in the administrative group. Unfortunately, that is a
shortcoming of the program (not providing access for all users).

You might check the suggestions for sharing software on this page by MVP

Perhaps one of the tips he has listed will help to get around this problem.
Am thinking that you might have a chance with this one: Temporarily
elevating the lesser accounts to the administrator group. Running the
program once under their account. Restart using their account to get needed
permissions written. Then log back on to your administrator account and
switch the others back to limited users. If this doesn't work, you'll need
to contact the program vendor for further assistance.
