Only problem is that some games require admin privileges to run. I ended up giving my 12 year old admin privileges on the local machine (not on the network) for the media center pc they use for playing their high end games.
It really gripes me that so many games require admin privileges to run. That is one thing that is supposed to be changed in Longhorn/Vista or whatever the heck they end up calling it. Cheryl D.

That worries me. Don't let it, that is to be expected. Programs which require admin access for operation and/or installation, such as heavy-duty system utilities, etc., will not work on a user account which does not have admin access control. That is as it should be, and is _precisely_ the behavior you wish to obtain. If you want everyone to be able to have admin control of your system, you shouldn't be sweating this to begin with. Expect users without admin-level control to be denied the ability to perform actions which should properly be reserved to the administrator (that's you, in this case). That is, after all, the point, n'est-ce pas? ____ The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or use the web interface http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ Send Your Posts To: wdvltalk@lists.wdvl.com To change subscription settings, add a password or view the web interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=wdvltalk ________________ http://www.wdvl.com _______________________ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
