Types of users

[Dan]

I am using Windows XP Home. When I create users, it
allows me to choose between two types: administrator and
limited. I am trying to run QuickBooks on this system,
and whenever I try to execute the program from a limited
user, I get the following message:

"Your user account for Windows was created with
Restricted access to system resources. Ask your system
administrator to grant you Standard user rights."

I don't want to make this user an administrator. How do I
grant this user "Standard user rights"?

You don't. XP Home only recognizes Administrator and Limited User (User)
accounts. This is an issue between the NTFS file system and QuickBooks.
The Limited User account does not have the necessary access to parts of the
file system and the Registry to run the program.
