How to have program load for all users?
With XP Pro, I installed McAfee as Admin, but it does not show as running
when I log in as User. How can I have it run for all accounts? TIA, Craig

Hi Craig,
When logged in as a regular user, hit ctrl+shift+escape and check to see if its various parts are running on the processes tab. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Associate Expert - WindowsXP Expert Zone www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "Craig" wrote in message ...

OK - that's the problem - it is not running when logged in as a regular
user, but is when logged in as admin. I find that there seems to be some randomness to this with XP - I do all installs as admin, and most run for regular users - but not this one (it is an older version, not an XP-specific one, but then so are all of my other programs) "Rick "Nutcase" Rogers" wrote in message ...

Hi,
Not unusual for older software, this page I wrote explains why, and tells you how to correct it: http://rickrogers.org/xpsware.htm -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Associate Expert - WindowsXP Expert Zone www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "Craig" wrote in message ...

Great information - thanks, I will keep this for future reference. With
respect to McAfee, however, it does not appear in the start menu - presumably started from the registry? "Rick "Nutcase" Rogers" wrote in message ...

Hi,
Probably in the HKCU run key. I would make it simple and just put a startup shortcut in the AllUsers startup folder. You might check the services list to see if one has been added there as well and ensure it loads for the system and not an individual user. Incidentally, are you still able to get regular updates for this older version? Using an AV scanner that is not updated is almost as bad as running with no AV at all, and is very much useless when it comes to newer bugs. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Associate Expert - WindowsXP Expert Zone www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "Craig" wrote in message ...
