I'd like to know how to give permissions for the files.
E.g. MS Works calendar is ok for my admin user, but a non
admin users gets "cannot access one or more files". The
MS Interactive Training is more explicit, saying
permission is denied on ...All Users\Application
Data\SBSI\ORUN\Users.dbf. The file exists, but I don't
see any way of giving more/less permissions on it.
(I get similar problems with all the software I install,
but I thought I'd start by asking how to fix the
MicroSoft ones!)
I'm using XP Home.
