Multi user issue resolved

Multi user issue resolved

At long last, I've finally managed to resolve my problem getting WB 4.95 working with multi-user accounts. I know there's at least one other soul with this problem so here's what worked.

First I uninstalled WB4.6 and rebooted. On reboot, I deleted all non-skin files in my WB directory, then installed WB4.95 and rebooted. Admin accounts worked with WB fine but not limited accounts so I made all users admins and tried again without success. So I rebooted with all users as admins. Now WB worked on all accounts.

Of course giving everyone admin rights isn't a good thing so I changed them back to limited users and tried changing skins. This time WB worked just fine even on limited accounts. A bit more effort than ODNT applications normally need but all's well now.

okay - created a new limited account
no WB in display properties
ran SDC - ran WB - set a skin - made sure 'show tray icon' was checked

couldn't find Object dock in the start list - browsed via 'my computer' - ran it and put in 'Objectdock tray' just in case WB icon showed there but not in reg systray

ran CXP just because


logged out - logged in later - WB loaded up, systray icon showed (and in the dock)

forgot to to check if WB shows in display
and when i switch users my connection dies

so far, seems to working on limited as it should
I'll try a reboot shortly

Thanks again Bichur. One awesome troll!   Oddly I find everything works as it should today. Probably a coincidence but I finally got rid of a really persistant downloader trojan this morning. I can't see how one would affect the other but who knows what evil lurks in the heart of the beast.
