Setting Up Multiple Users
Thursday, January 25, 2007 by cwfrizzell | Discussion: New Users
I have had the Object Desktop Suite and Object Dock for a while, and it works fairly well. But never really thought about other users. Now I want to try and setup other users, and the programs don't respond in those different profiles, whether administrator or limited user. I tried running wbconfig from another administrator's profile, as referenced in another post in the forum, but received a "no permission to the path" blah blah blah error. How specificially can I setup Object Desktop and Object Dock for multiple users of the same machine?

also you might want to know Iconpackager has some issues with using on multiple accounts. Changes on one account will cause certain icons to be changed on the other, in particular the Internet and Email shortcuts on the start menu.
Enhanced File Dialog seems to use the same settings for every user.
Other than that you should be fine.

I'm using Windows XP home, so everything I normally install is under my profile (administrator rights), but not the actual Windows XP administrator profile. I wonder if that isn't the problem...

The only thing I can think of is to make sure you installed it on the main administrator account. After that, make sure the path you installed it to isn't a folder that is password protected or made private to that user only.
