| | Accessing program I have two accounts on my computer (administrator account and a standard user account). When logged on as administrator, I can access all my programs including downloads such as Quicken. When logged on as standard user, I am unable to access the downloaded Quicken program and all the information that I placed in it when logged on as administrator. Am I trying to do something that Vista does not allow? Thanks for any advise -- jay tay |

| | Re: Accessing program Sorry for the confusion; Quiken is downloaded and shows on program list of both accounts; when trying to run as "standard user", I am asked to select a data file; it does not go directly to the program as when logged on as admin.; found that if I right click on shortcut (when logged on as S/U) and run as admin. everything is OK. So I guess I have answered my own question. -- jay tay "Malke" wrote: Quote: > jaytay wrote: > Quote: > > I have two accounts on my computer (administrator account and a standard > > user account).

Because Intuit is Just Like That. :-( Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com Don't Panic! |
