If I install a program as administrator, how do I make it available to other users?  Idealy, I would like the desktop and program access to be identical for non-administrative users as for admin, but without admin rights.

Windows state and Windows registry that i should
access "Backup" through System Tools.  Well, I began
at "Start" then "All Programs" and "Accessories" and

I just purchased a new hard drive with a clean install of
Windows XP Pro.  I hooked up my old hard drive to the new

the "windows" directory, I recieve an "Access Denied"

I can't see the security tab in the printer options under
Win XP Pro. Can anyone tell me how to enable this feature
or get around?

(Control Panel). So I am unable to access the programs

What am I doing wrong? When I have XP set to require a
screensaver password, all I have to do is click 'OK'
without even entering a password, and I'm back in the
system. Some security.

I try to change local policy settings, but when I try to OK out, a popup says Failed to save local policy database.  I have admin rights.  What am I missing.

slave) to determine if its O/S had a password expiration
