alaricevans Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 Here's my problem.I have a PC with XP Personal (ie Not Profeesional) which has one administrator account and several user accounts.My son has started working with Visual Basic .Net which works fine on my admin account. On his user account, if he tries to run uncompiled script he gets a message that he has to be part of the Debuggers Group.I have found detailed instructions in VB .Net as to how to make someone a member of this group. (Right click on account, select properties etc) but these only seem to apply toi XP Professional. On my home version of XP I can't find anything at all like this.I dont want to make my son an administrator, he's enough of an uncontrolled script kiddie as it is.

Datalore Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but can't you go into the "User Accounts" page in the Control Panel, click the account in question, and click on "Change account type"? Just change it to an admin there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XtremeMaC Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 (edited) no he doesn't want to give his son admin priviliges.the thing u're looking for is permissions on folders.xp pro has that feature but u can enable it in homewait is the hdd ntfs or fat32?cacls.exe might help ui tried to find the documentation on file permissions in home version couldn't...

Denney Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Does XP Home have Local Users and Groups??If so, go start->run and type this:lusrmrg.mscIn there you should be able to goto properties of his account and add him to the debugger group. I'm sorry if Home doesn't have this because I've only worked with Professional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
