Win XP-Home User Accounts

[NJLOAD]

I have a system with Win XP-Home on it. I set up user accounts for my three boys and set myself up as the Admin. How do I install a game that all three user accounts will be able to access? I installed the game in the shared documents folder but when I go into one of the user accounts and try to run the game, it tells me I need Admin rights to use the game. I installed the game under my Admin Account.

Any help is appreciated.

It's probably going to depend on the game - some games work just fine under a limited account, but some want to write to the registry or a system folder and it's hard to say exactly what the issue is. Does it work OK for the admin? Run it once, and then try again under limited - maybe it just needs to create some files on the first run. Verify that the limited users have the power to create/modify files within the game's folder in Shared Documents. They probably do, but I haven't installed things there, so maybe there's something I'm missing. If that stuff still doesn't work, find the game's key in the registry. Even though Home doesn't support groups for file sharing, it does support groups for reg key privileges. So you might need to change the game's key under HKLM to allow all users write access.

You might want to see if the system logs have anything more specific to say - otherwise there's a lot of guesswork involved.
