Can't get MagicJack to load for all users in Win XP

Post by johnthehuskyfan »

Hi!

I have windows XP, all updated with service pack 3 and everything. I am the "administrator" on my pc and I can always get MagicJack to load whenever I boot up the computer. However, my wife is not an administrator, but rather a regular user. She doesn't have permission to to things the administrator does, like install software, etc.

I logged on as her and I can't get MagicJack to load when I log on as her. she needs to be able to log on and have it load without me doing it for her as the administrator.. Make sense?

What can I do to set it up so MagicJack will load when she boots up the computer as herself , without having me to log on as me so she can use it?

Thank you!

Hi johnthehuskyfan,
1. In Windows Explorer, go to 'Tools' > 'Folder Options' > 'View' tab. Select 'Show Hidden Files and Folders'.
2. Create a shortcut in your wife's 'Startup' folder to C:\documents and settings\[wife's name]\Application Data\mjusbsp\in00000\setup.exe
Where [wife's name] is your wife's Windows logon name.
3. Re-Hide Files and Folders.
