 Posted: Fri Oct 24, 2008 6:25 am Post subject: Windows Limited User Accounts |
 |
|
Currently, I'm using a Limited User account on my Windows computer. When I have installed MMORPG games on the "Administrator" type account, I can't seem to play on the Limited User account. Can this problem be fixed? All the games that I have installed on the computer using the "Administrator" type account cannot be played on the Limited account.

Change the 'Limited' account to a 'Computer Administrator' account then. Logon to the admin account you used to install them and then in 'Control Panel' go to 'Users' and then in the settings for the limited account 'Change Account Type'. Log off and you're done

stupid idea...
THIS is mostly the reason people who use admin accounts all the time get riddled with malware...
put the game inside your program files folder and you should be able to access it from all accounts.

The built-in admin account is the vulnerable one, i'm talking about a seperate user account that is limited on his PC. The reason MOST people get malware on their PC is been careless and having little to no understanding of how the software and windows works, thats why. Not because of an admin-level account. In any case... He can step that up to the admin level, and overcome all these other issues... If you're going to post then make one which is useful, and addresses the problem at hand.

You're a retard and have no idea what you are talking about. Get your facts straight before posting crap you know nothing about.

I'd love to see such an awesome suggestion from you that blows mine out of the water. And you wonder why you have the number of warnings you have on this forum??... |
way2fail.
read my post you will see I made a suggestion that would work fine.
also, windows gets a bad rep for being "unsecure" because of people like you, who suggest everybody use an admin account...
also, reported for flaming.
