At the moment I can't seem to access some programs that I was able to access before. Don't know what changed. I have an Admin account that works fine but the Limited account is having problems. Any solutions?

I have used the "run as" admin option to install an application on a users computer. I selected the current user option and I now want to remove this application. The problem is the user does not have enough rights to remove the application and the application does not show up in add/remove programs while logged in as administrator.

Running XP Pro, downloaded Shock Wave player and Macromedia Flash player from admin profile. The Macromedia apps are not available to other users of the machine only to the admin. Even tried upgrading limited user to admin and then install. It worked as admin but when switched backed to limited or power user the app would not work. Please help. Thanks Paul

To be honest, in your situation I would attempt a repair install of Windows. It's hard to say at this point exactly what's been corrupted given those symptoms. The repair may be the best alternative. Unfortunately, failing that, my next step would be a regular reinstall.

Leo,

I'm a computer consultant and I was "cleaning" a computer infected with Viruses and Spyware. I inadvertantly deleted HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\userinit.exe

When I rebooted, I could not log in. The welcome screen appeared and when I clicked on the user name it would automatically log me out. At that point I realized I had made a mistake. I was able to find a MS Knowledge base article that helped me restore some default registry settings that eventually let me log back in. My problem is that now, all the programs that were installed like Norton A\V, Word Perfect, and a few others will not run and are not shown in the Add/Remove Programs list, although they are still in the C:\Program Files.

Try installing it once logged in as each user. If that doesn't work, then you really have no recourse other than to talk to the manufacturer of the software.

What do you do if the program does not ask you if you want to set it up for current user or all users?
