Reinstalling of XP
During a recent re-install, when prompted whether to
allow access to files by all users, I checked the "no" box (because I suspected a guest had downloaded a virus which caused my XP to cease functioning). Now the rest of my family cannot access common programs in their accounts (eg. our family e-mail account, MSN Messenger, etc). I hold the only "Administrator" account and presently, I have to log into my account to allow them to check the family e-mail account. How do I re-set this so that they have access to all the files and programs that I have installed (i.e. outlook express, windows office, MSN messenger, etc)? Thank you for your help. |
