Installing Programs on a Limited Account

In this step by step guide you will learn about: how to install programs and games in a limited account meaning an account thats not an administrator.

This might not always work but it's pretty useful because your able to install programs although your administrator has blocked it.


Step by Step:

1. When your installing the program here is what you have to do.

2. When it gives you the option of choosing the directory or destination where the program will be install, before clicking next click browse to choose a different destination.

3. The destination your going to choose is

C:\Documents and Settings\"your username"\"name of program being installed"\

4. So just browse to

* The C:\ drive(this is the operating system installed drive)
* Then Documents and Settings
* Then your User Name (Limited Account)

5. The reason why you do this is because since your installing it in your account name the computer doesn't stop or check anything because its your account and your name, but if you just select the desktop and choose to install it there it going to say something like "you do not have enough administrative privileges" something like that.
