I have XP set up with Multi users 1 admin. (full access) and 3 user accounts (Limited).
The problem I'm dealing with is that the user accounts cann't run games unless they
are Administraters with full access. What I'm trying to do is set up user account
for my kids to use and nat have to worry they will be able to cause my system harm.
The game is Diablo 2 LOD and plays off the setup disk.

Sorry, Don. If you go to the Diablo II website
you'll see that you need local administrator access to play the game.

If you access the shortcut under the start menu for Diablo II, you could have that
program execute as Administrator. This would give access to the required resources
for the game, but keep the other users from stubling into something wierd when they
are using the rest of the programs.

them from things so you can give them administrator on windows then gove them security
settings on the program. Hope this helps
