| 56705 | 2002-06-23 05:11:00 | Hi, I have 2 computers on a home network, both are running Win XP. One is 'my' computer, the other is for my 2 young boys to load play games etc on. Often they both want to use the computer at the same time. Is it possible for them to access their own desktop settings from my computer and play games loaded on their hard drive? Thanks, Dave |

Early programs just installed, later ones (programs like MSWord etc) often install "fish hooks" into the Windows system files on the machine they are installed on . Try accessing it across the network and as it can't find these system files on the local machine it won't work . You could try running one of the games from your own machine . If it works then you could set up a profile for the kids . Just be warned - once you invite a vampire into your house you can never get rid of it . Same with kids . Let them onto your machine and you will find it unavailable when you want it! |
