Multiple accounts help! (Blinds wont work on 2nd acc)
Monday, April 4, 2005 by corjello | Discussion: WindowBlinds
Can someone help me out. I installed WB on an account and installed skins and such also. Then on my other account, it just refuses to work, the skins wont install, and the skins that come with it dont display. The main window for it will open, the diffrent tabs opperate, but it just doesnt do anything. Why is this?

corjello,
I just tested it on my machine (I only use one account) using the enhanced version, by creating a "Test" account and applying a skin, it worked fine.
You could try the following:
Return your account to default Windows XP including all icons, then creating a "Test" account. If this works, just copy the contents of your second account's "Cookies", "Favorites", "My Documents", "Start Menu", and "Desktop" folders to the "Test" account > log off second account > delete second old account from your account > rename "Test" account to second account.
This should work unless there is some non-default settings in WindowBlinds that is creating an issue for some reason.
This may or may not work with the free version - not sure, because I use the full version.
I hope this helps.

Is the other account an admin account?
