Difference between Admin rights and normal user?

Post by Surre »

Screensaver will not save my location when I do not have admin rights. It just opens the "New York". I add my location again, but still, the New York opens up ..
I logged on with admin rights, when it worked right..?

But back to my normal user (not admin), it showed only New York again.
I use win7, and does not normally run with admin rights. And then the sreensaver will no show other cities than New York.. Sad!! :(


I even can't insert my own image when I do not run with amine rights. :cry:

Thanks for the report, I have added a task to lookup how YoWindow works under non-admin user account.
Get YoWindow weather app for your phone or tablet.

It is easy to change the rights:

yowindow.exe > right klick > properties > safety > rights
Change the rights for this programm to non-admin rights to full rights.

thanks for this suggestion,

on my PC, no "safety" tab appears when I right-click the executable file in the YoWindow program files folder, and select "properties"

does something else need to be enabled or switched on, in order for that "safety" tab to appear ?
and
am I right-clicking on the correct file ? .. the executable in the YoWindow program files folder ?

Windows XP professional Service Pack 3 updated recently

thanks,
Ed
