Application install "for all users"

I'm in the (good) habit of loading XP programs using the administrator account. Imagine my surprise when I couldn't find GB-PVR on my personal start menu. As the app moves towards v1.x, then it really shouldn't need a multiple install just to get it on an individual's start menu. Excellent app even though it isn't for the feint hearted!

One of my machines is also used by my wife and it's a PITA for her whenever I install software that puts stuff in the 'All Users' profile. I prefer most installations to be for the profile that was used to install it. If your personal account isn't a member of the local administrators group then just use 'Run As' to install. If it IS a member of local admins then you don't need to use the actual Administrator account. Cheers, Brian

Yes, I know - but the average Windows user is so used to having their hand held, for the sake of the tick option box that forms part of the .NET SDK, I think it's a worthwhile addition.
When suppliers provide me with beta test software apps in my job, I expect to have to 'mess around' but when the app gets rolled out across the department, it needs to be idiot proof.

Is there any chance to have a bar showing the volume level (like in MVP) each time a VOL UP or VOL DOWN is presesed?

The 'free' bit about GB-PVR applies to personal/private use (donations, of course, happily accepted by sub). If you're 'rolling it out' across multiple machines in your household then, as I understand it, the licence agreement covers this. In this case, you can easily 'tweak' the installations if you need to. Cheers, Brian |
