When I installed Quicken 2003, logged in as Administrator
under Windows XP Pro, I found that only Administrator-
level persons could start the Quicken executable. For
all other persons, the shortcut to the executable does
not contain the command "open" in the shortcut's context
menu. Furthermore, when I take a shortcut from
Administrator, which contains "open" in the context menu,
and copy it into the Documents & Settings\...\Start
Menu\Programs for a non-administrator, the context menu
is magically changed; the "open" command gets stripped
out. I figure there must be a security setting somewhere
that's causing this phenomenon, preventing anyone but
administrator from running the Quicken executable, but I
don't know where to find it. Can anyone help? Thanks.
