pexcer Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 This is under Windows 8. I recently set my wife up with a standard account. We had been using bittorrent on my admin account for some time. I've given her account access to the directories that we use for bittorrent but I cannot seem to get bittorrent itself to work on her account. I've changed the permissions on the .exe file and placed a shortcut on her desktop, but when you log in the shortcut cannot see the folder the .exe lives in. I tried downloading and installing it again from her account but that just seems to want to run bittorrent instead of installing it and prompts for my password everytime, even if I set the permissions.I can't just let her use my account for it because I have secure files on my account to which I'm not allowed to let anyone have access.I'm pretty new to doing anything with LUAs or Standard Accounts as we've always just used one admin account in the past.

Harold Feit Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 is there a settings.dat file in the folder with the bittorrent exe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pexcer Posted August 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Yes. It's the default install location. C:\Users\*****\AppData\Roaming\BitTorrent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Feit Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 That's why.It's trying to use your settings at the same time as your copy of the exe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
