Hi

WIN XP PRO sp2
has 2 accounts, admin and guest account.
I'd like to be able to run napster inthe guest account but it won't - it pops up an error, tho runs fine in the admin account. Is there anyway to change the properties of the program in the Guest account to run with admin-like-environment?

Basically, anyway to get Napster to run in a guest account? I have access to the admin account.

Any tips are appreciated.
Thx!

The Guest account is extremely limited. A lot of programs don't run under Guest. I think it serves as simply access to Internet Explorer and the Internet, basically.

I suggest making a limited user account with no password that "guests" can use.

If Napster doesn't run under a limited account either, you could make a shortcut to a runas command-line command to make Napster run under Administrator credentials. However, it's probably better to find out what files and registry keys Napster needs access to.

There are some programs that help you do this. Regmon is one, but I forget the other.
