| Guest | Re: Giving administrator password to standard user You won't have to give them the password if you set "Detect application installations and prompt for elevation" to Disabled in Local Security Policy. They'll be able to install most apps without elevating. (So far I've been able to install most programs from a standard account without being prompted for elevation. The only time I'm prompted is when downloading and installing certain programs from the Web. Not sure why yet, I suspect it's either an IE setting or something having to do with unsigned apps. Haven't had a chance to mess with it yet.) Anyway, to get to Local Security Policy log into an administrative account, click Start, type sec and click Local Security Policy. Click Local Policy, click Security Options, and scroll down to the User Account Control options. Set the "Detect application installations…" option to Disabled. There's some detailed technical info at the URLs below: http://technet2.microsoft.com/Window....mspx?mfr=true http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/w.../aa906022.aspx "ramkar" <ramkar@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:CE03B278-E39C-4F33-B2BC-6B1C71519B5C@microsoft.com... > Hi there, > > I recently upgraded to Vista Ultimate and the computer is being shared by > my children as well.

| Guest | Giving administrator password to standard user Hi there, I recently upgraded to Vista Ultimate and the computer is being shared by my children as well. But when I install a new application - which Vista identifies as an unidentified application - every time my children want to run the program ( a mp3 library program) , the system asks them for administrator password. I dont want to give them the password but would like them to be able to execute the program. How can I achieve this? thanks |

The userinformations to run application are read from an encrypted file. Runasspc work together with UAC from Vista |
