re: all the family users cannot get online! Sunday, March 19, 2006 at 2:55 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by C K (6910 messages posted) What version of XP? Home or Pro? Are you using limited accounts? If so, many programs need to run with administrator rights (not limited) so they will not easily, or work at all in limited accounts. Some software will ask if you want to run it only in the current account, or in all accounts when it installs. You will have to reinstall if you want it in all accounts but originally installed it using the install in the current account only option. If you are having trouble with software that didn't ask whether you wanted it in the current account or all accounts, you may have no choice but to switch users from limited accounts to administrator accounts and reinstall the software. For some programs, you could simply go into the profiles of each user (from an admin account) and copy shortcuts and links from the installed account to the other accounts that you want to provide access too.. Doesn't always work in all programs, but does for some unless special permissions were assigned when the software was installed IME..
