"run as administrator" problem, on windows 7

nonameavailable said:

I tried under the same logic as you said, unfortunately, it didnt work.
Admin account installed Firefox under its folder Desktop. User account tried to access the folder and be asked to the administrator credetials, which I did. after i put the credentials it did give me any notice. But when i click the folder again, it asked me. So User accound cannot get into the folder to find firefox app.

That's because the folder has permissions only for that user. You have to now giver permission to that specific user for that folder.

Check this tutorial out for specific instruction on how to do that. By the way, you shouldn't have done the installation that way. I suggest you simply uninstall it and install it again in the default location.

Permissions - Allow or Deny Users and Groups

Thanks oreo27 for the solution, now anybody who logs in can use firefox.

Are you guys the same user?

Because if so, please note that this is not allowed as stipulated in rule number 11.

Guys,
I am just kidding, not try to bash that jersey guy.

By the way, Oreo, is there anyway to accomplish the following.
1. I have a User account that doesnt have priviledge to install Firefox. but I want to use it.
2. I have an admin account.
3. I use firefox all the time, so, would it possible to use it with any login like UAC allowed?

thanks,

Okay, you really lost me there. But I'm thinking you want to use Firefox on a user account.

It's as simple as installing Firefox, which you've already done, then creating the necessary shortcuts to it and launching it from any other user account.

On the user account where you want to use Firefox, navigate to the installation directory of Firefox, usually in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox", if you're using a 64 bit edition of Windows; and right-click on Firefox.exe. Select "Send to>Desktop". This should create a working Firefox shortcut on that user's desktop.

Hope this helps.

P.S. We're pretty serious here so please act like an adult

I just performed this step from your post # 10 in this thread.:

That's why i thanked you.

Oh, okay mate :) Just making sure no rules were broken. Glad to hear it worked out for you.

But as I said earlier, it's easier and better to install in the default program files location :)
