Guest is a system account and you'll continually have issues using it. Instead, create a regular user account and call it "Visitor" or the like - if creating an account in your GF's actual name shows too much commitment. ;-) Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com Don't Panic! |

In any case you cannot install a program for one user only. You need to
install it as an Admin-level user, then configure it as the guest user. If it causes a nuisance for other users (which it might well do!) then run msconfig and disable its automatic startup.
