I have a VB 6.0 program I wrote that writes text files to subdirectories under its own program folder. It also reads and writes to the registry in different areas. When I run this program under a limited user account on XP, it fails to run because its not allowed to write to that folder or write to the registry. It is installed from the main user account which is normally is and started in the LocalMachine registry key whenever windows begins. I cannot install it from the user account - I want to install it from the main account and let all users use the program.
I found out a limited user account can write to a file in a certain folder in its My Documents but I don't want this. Is there anyway through VB to allow this program to create/write text files in a limited user account but be installed from the main user account?
I'm wanting someone to write me a program that will create a new text file and update it that works in all user accounts of XP. I want to install it from my main account, then change user accounts and run it and see it work without a file/path access error. And I don't want to have to do anything with Windows myself like set permissions - I want to do it all from within VB 6.0. If you can include a demo showing you can do this with a bid, that would be great! I need this asap please!
Thanks
