Hi.
For a long time ago, I installed thunderbird mail on my computer but realised after a while
that I accidently installed into the administrator account...with lots of configuration, imap,server syncs.
I wanted this program to be ran from the standard account instead! (using for regular day-to-day)
And didnt want to do it all over again,reinstall, etc so somehow I read guides and managed to share or point out the existing program to the other account and use it at will. I figured it out but thats 1-2 years ago.
Today, I am up against the same problem!
1.installed two programs using admin account, but I wanna create a standard account for
daily basis. And the idea is to run the programs from that account instead, not having to reinstall and such.
Please help?
these are 2 applications that I already have installed. I dont want to reinstall, I just want them to work
from standard account, or even better Guest if its possible? When I switch to guest account and launch the programs below, the installation process starts from scratch seperated and dont recognize that its already installed on the same computer but another account.
Vmware_player (existing virtual machine also! )
Steam
its awkard, embarassing that I cant pull this off. As you realise, there is also quite hard to deal with the vmware player, because the application also runs an existing virtual machine (that windows handle as a large file, tied to the account, profile..? )
