Q: Who does this problem affect?
A: People that use TinyFirewall on Windows XP and have more than 1 user (with ANY privileges).
Q: What happens?
A: Say you have 3 users (user A, B, C), if you log into user C when you first turn the PC on, then you use the "fast" user switching (without actually logging off), user A or B will never see or be able to adjust TPF. This happens regardless if first user you log in as is "admin" or "user." Even if you try to open the program through the START MENU, it open in the other user account (like C). You can't see the TPF GUI untill you switch to the first user that logged in (C in this case).
Q: What is the solution?
A: Tinysoftware (makers of TPF) need to configure the CODE in their software so it is fully compatible (optimized) for Windows XP.
Q: Is there a "work-around?"
A: Yes, instead of using the "switch user" option (fast switching), log completely off then log back on to the other user, repeat this for all your other users. There might also be a registry hack.... (still looking).
