Cant run Object Desktop from other user accounts on XP

from Stardock Forums

Hello.


I have installed windowblinds, skinstudio, icon packager etc.. from my user account everything seems to work ok. But when my girlfriend signs into her user account she cant use any of the programs. it denies access. i have created her account with full administrator priveliges same as mine. i am under the impression that i can personalise everything in my account, and so should she be able to. am i correct in this? if not she should be at least able to use skin studio. im sure something is wrong. when i look at the programs in the all programs menu from her user account the icons for all of the Object Desktop programs have the same icon showing for them(a small white box with a thick blue line on the top of it.  also her desktop and everything is left as it normally is as standard xp shell. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

thanks very much.


i am getting somewhere now. its due to the permissions. ive sorted this out now. you have to boot the computer up in safe mode and check out the user access rights to the whole stardock and object desktop folders. once again i apreciate your help

your welcome....

is it working on both accounts now? (I've never had that issue - both (at one time 3) accounts have always worked for me....possibly because both are admin accounts...I'm not sure)
