| 566785 | 2007-07-07 08:20:00 | Hi all After getting sick of my family using my pc and changing things around I formatted and set up "user logins" for each of them. I decided to download Google Earth (under my Login). How do I get it to work for each user? It works fine for me but I don’t know what to do to get it operational for them on their user logins. I have tried shortcuts but that didn’t work. I am sure it is simple but I just can’t figure it out (and I searched Windows Help too) Many thanks Meg |

But never use Google Earth on my home crappy PC. Check out the policy in Administrative tools. :stare: Sharing is real annoying, too bad I'm gonna locked up my new system and no one can use it. :lol: Hey Meg, need help building a system? Are you planing on Web, office, emails, google earth, etc. Not for gaming? If not gaming your specs looks fine. Still I wonder why people still want 17" monitor. |

This when you get your new system I would think. If you ever do! |

| 566790 | 2007-07-07 10:41:00 | Sorry Meg. I have Google Earth and only under one profile with admin rights. I live alone. I could make another user and reinstall to check. I have time at the moment so just may do that. |

| 566791 | 2007-07-07 10:56:00 | Hi Meg. I just created a new account called "test" I logged into that account and installed my download into that account. It works. And you are correct about Custom install. There is no option. Therefore install for each user. |

| 566794 | 2007-07-07 22:14:00 | PedalSlammer: Would you mind keeping to the topic that the original poster asked about, namely, using Google Earth in other accounts? I am sure Meg doesn't appreciate all that fluff you are waffling on about . :annoyed: Meg: It's not the best solution I know, but could you install Google Earth in an account that everyone has access to? Personally I don't like everyone having their own user accounts as if the computer gets an infection it takes forever to scan each and every one of them to clean it up . I do understand your reasons for it, however, as I had the same problem until I built my own PC and let the rest of the tribe use my older one . They were told that if they mucked theirs up it would be formatted without saving any of their data . Have never had any (major) problems since . ;) :D |
