1. My Pictures list view - change to my preference
Whenever I go into My Pictures it always shows the icons as thumbnails even though my default view in Explorer windows is Tiles. How can I set this option so that it won't show thumbnails but Tiles (or Details)? Thanks
2. File and Folder Permissions
I have Windows XP Home and for some reason all of my files and folders have the "Read Only" permissions set. This is causing some problems with my web server, I am not able to upload files. I have tried removing the "Read Only" permissions in normal mode and safe mode but they just keep coming back. I have also tried reloading XP Home, but I am still having the same problem. Is there any way to remove the "Read Only" permissions on the files and folders? Thanks in advance. Jason Schoppert

Multiple User Program Access in Windows XP Home

by Steve » Mon, 03 Nov 2003 13:18:32 GMT

As the administrator, I successfully dowloaded and 
installed Adobe Acrobat Reader 6.0 on my own log-in on a 
multiple user "Windows XP Home" system, in "C:\Program 
Files\Adobe\Acrobat 6.0\", but I am unable to set up 
access to the program from the other users log-ins.

I tried dragging the "Adobe\Acrobat 6.0\" program/files 
to "Shared Documents" and setting up short-cut(s) on the 
other XP users Desktops to launch the program from there, 
but all I get when I try to launch the program from the 
short-cut on the Desktop, or from their "Programs" 
profile, is a "Microsoft Journal Viewer" Dialog Box 
message that "The feature you are trying to use is on a 
network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try 
again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing 
the installation package 'Microsoft Journal Viewer.msi' 
in the box below ... Use Feature from:" ... which I 
cannot locate to run/install/launch the program, and I 
have to terminate the above Dialog Box by launching the 
Task Manager, and ending the program. It won't respond 
properly to the "Cancel" buttons.

I've tried to find the answer in the Windows XP "Help" 
files, and I've tried all the other locations I can think 
of to point the short-cuts to, to launch the program, but 
I am unable to figure this out.

Can anyone help me?

Thank you.

I have an XP Home system with one admin user and several 
limited users. In some programs installed by the 
administrator, I get a security violation message when 
run by a limited user.

How can I set up the security to allow the limited users 
to access these programs?

2.Limiting User Program Access Windows XP Home Edition

How can I limit which programs a user may access on my 
computer?  For that matter, I would like to keep some 
programs private, with the user having no knowledge 
thereof.  This is my computer, however, I have others who 
use it from time to time and I don't want to be the meanie 
that won't let them sit for hours playing games 
(especially if I want to play.)

I have set-up individual User Accounts, but that only 
addresses desktop settings, personal files and the ability 
to change computer settings.... Nothing about limiting 
program access.

Is ther something I have missed or need to download??? 
Help!!

Operating System:  Windows XP Home Edition

Thank you for your help (I hope.)

3.XP Home: user access to programs

We are using winXP Home in a laboratory, so we have a single admin and a 
single user to all students.
When I install programs like Irfanview, they ask me whether I wanted to make 
it available only to the admin or to all users. Others, although compatible 
with winXP, don't, and when the students log in, they cannot access some of 
them. This is the case of the scanner manager (scan manager, genius, 
kyescan.exe, returns the message that it is "unable to find the necessary 
registries") and Curriculo Lattes (returns message that "cannot load the mdb 
file or you don't have permission to view these data"). 
I believe this is a matter of repositioning the programs in the registry; 
how do I do that?

5.Need help setting up a new user and limiting program access in XP Home

We have a computer at work that has multiple users, but only one user
identity at
the moment.  I would like to set up a new user and set it up so that
certain programs already installed on the computer can only be accessed by
the new identity.  Other programs we would like accessed by both identities.

We are using XP Home and have not yet upgraded to SP2.

Can someone point me to a simple walkthrough of this process?  Thanks!
