Hi -

How do you start a program, installed under the admin
account, as the limited user account? My wife wants to
use a program that I had to install as the admin. I put a
shortcut on her desktop but the program does not start
when she double clicks it. It runs fine in my (admin)
account.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Right click on the file and choose run as, then put in the admin user name
and password. Some program will only run on users with admin rights. This is
because the program was not coded to take advantage of xps multi-user
system. (check if there is an update to the app that might let it run on a
limited user).
