| Vista 64-bit Ultimate Win7 64-bit Ultimate XP SP3 32-bit Pro | Re: User account control with multiple users Set them up a Standard User Acct. Control Panel, (classic view) User Accounts. You do have to be logged on as Admin. Then you would have to do it thru PERMISSIONS. I'm trying to figure out how to do it. Maybe someone else can help? Try Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Computer Management, Shared Folders?

| | Re: User account control with multiple users Grizz Which programs? Any program that requires administrative privileges to operate can only be run from within an administrative account or a Standard account using the administrators credentials. This is because that program has global access to restricted components in Vista. Denying a standard user access to a program that requires this type of global access to the system is the main function of UAC. If you override this security, you defeat the whole purpose of UAC. The first question you need to ask yourself is "Does this program really need complete, system wide access"? If the answer is No, then you need to go to the maker of that program and ask if an update is available that makes the program compatible with Vista. -- Ronnie Vernon Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience "Grizz" <Grizz@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:FAFA0119-3070-4C87-B36E-F46D66EB36E6@xxxxxx Quote: > When using user account control, how do I allow certain programs to be run > by > other users on my computer without them having my administrator password? |
