My clean install of 7 when great. Everything is working fine and I feel great about 7 and I want to thank for some help from the forum. Here's a simple item I need to do. When I had Vista I set up 2 user's. One for me and one for the wife. I had a problem of opening something on my side and when she would get on her side it would be open there also. I found out how to fix that but I forgot how. I noticed last night that I opened my Logitech cam program and then closed it. Then I went over to the wife's side and it was open there. Can anyone tell me what to do to change that? Thanks.

It's great to hear that your Windows 7 clean install went well! It sounds like you're experiencing an issue with the user account settings on Windows where programs that you open on one user account are also open on the other user account. To resolve this issue and prevent programs from automatically opening on both user accounts, you'll need to adjust the startup settings for the Logitech cam program specifically for your user account. Here's how you can do this: 1. Prevent Logitech Cam Program from Starting Automatically: - Go to your user account and prevent the Logitech cam program from starting automatically when you log in. - You can do this by managing the startup programs for your user account only. 2. Check Startup Programs: - Review the startup programs for your user account to ensure that the Logitech cam program is not set to start automatically. 3. Disable Startup for Logitech Cam: - Disable the Logitech cam program from starting up with Windows for your user account. By following these steps and making sure that the Logitech cam program doesn't start automatically for your user account, you should be able to avoid it opening on the other user account when you use it. If you need more detailed instructions on how to manage startup programs or disable program startup for a specific user account on Windows 7, feel free to ask!
