Hi

1)
When Windows Guest account or any other Non-Admin account is logged-on, some of the startup applications such as Anti Virus, etc startup and some dont.

How does Windows determine which ones to run and which one not on Gues and other non-admin accounts.

2) How to stop a particular application to run on Guest account log-on

and how to make an application to always run on Guest account as on Administrator account.

1)The anit virus program is probably not set to run at start up on those accounts.

2)There are permission settings that the admin can set for the guests. You can give them access to certian things, while others you can deny them.

Do you mean i will have to set each program individually to run or to stop on Guest Account ?

If i uncheck a program in MsConfig32 from Administrator account (stopping it to run at Windows startup), would this setting also apply on Guest and other accounts?

Similarly, on Guest account the Start Menu shows some programs and some not that the Administrator has... again.. how Windows determine which programs to add and which not to in Startup Menu.... how can i add/remove for each account... is it has to be done manually on each account with conventional method?

Thanks a lot

You will have to set each program you want to run at start up. Meaning if the user logs in and you want the anti virus to start you need to add that to the start up

That i am not sure about I will have to look into that. (Or maybe another bytes memeber knows the answer)

You might be able to do it from the admin account. I will play around with mine and see if i can do it. If not you might have to log into the guest account and set it up.
