One of our pc's has me as admin/prime user and one other separated user. I keep a copy of some of my files on this pc (plus an ext hd) just in case!
I would like the other user to be able to access all the programmes that are installed without having to log onto 'my side' and without having to use a passcode but to still maintain own email, browser, documents, pictures etc completely partitioned. I can't see how to organise this ... Help talks about Microsoft programmes such as emails/Internet etc.
Help please

User access to programmes

The only reason we have the 4th dimension of Time is so that everything does not happen at once.

Re: User access to programmes
I don't have Vista but I would expect that any application installed would be available to all users UNLESS the installation routine offers you a choice to 'install for just you or all users' AND you explicitly select the 'only me' choice.

Re: User access to programmes
Yes, you are correct. I obviously had stuffed something up, all OK now. Thanks
But one issue maybe you know something about ...
This Image Resizer
http://imageresizer.codeplex.com/releases/view/82827" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Great idea but, on our Vista at least, if you install it then only the No1 user seems to be able to access it. I raised this issue with the programmer and he provided a link but this did not work for me. You can see it in the rt click but it does not function.

Re: User access to programmes
Image resizing? Use IrfanView or Faststone Image Viewer, both are free and do way more than just resizing.

Re: User access to programmes
But this one is soooo easy to use in those typical situations where you are writing an email and then decide to attach/insert a pic, but not at a huge file size I have used IrfanView & it is a good all-rounder. Nowadays I use Photoshop if I want to do something special.
Have a look at ImageResize, I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
JUST RECHECKED THE DOWNLOAD SITE ::: PROBLEM OF MULTI USERS IS FIXED
Maybe we should add this to our 'free software' recommendations. I will be guided by our experts.
