UNSOLVED
running programs in guest account (XP Pro SP2)
When I am signed into my guest account, certain programs will not run (specifically iTunes for Windows). It has been re-installed with the guest account activated (the first time I installed it i had not yet turned on the guest account, and at first I tried to copy the icon over from program files), and I made sure that in Guest it was being run from the Guest account program files once it was re-installed correctly. What happens is when I click on the icon, the hourglass shows up and then nothing happens, and if i go into the task manager it is not present. I run Windows XP Pro (sp2) on a XPS 600. thanks

- ok, yeh i did go on the safe side and tried it out to no avail, but this time i looked into the shortcut's "run as..." and set it to run out of my admin account, not the guest account. it worked fine when i did that, but will that effect anything having it run through that? it didnt log the admin user on, so it wasnt making it run multiple users when i start the program or anything...are there any apparent problems this might have that im not aware of? thanks

Hey there.. I had trouble running programs under my girlfriend's username on her new Inspiron. It worked fine for others users, but not hers.It appeared to be a problem with the Symantec Security Centre... I ended up flattening the machine, and now all works fine and dandy.
