Permanently Changing Windows XP Security Settings?

Posted by Cliff on Monday May 17, 2004 @11:22AM from the making-them-stick dept.

pnutjam asks: "I have googled and perused several publications seeking an answer but I find no mention of this problem anywhere. I am running applications not designed for a multi-user environment on Windows XP. To allow standard users to run these applications I've modified permissions on files, folders, and registry keys. Whenever a computer with the modifications is rebooted, the permissions revert to their previous settings. It doesn't happen when the users log off, only when the computers are rebooted." When adjusting Windows XP to support such applications, how do you make permission changes so that they survive through a reboot?

Just because he's a flea-ridden, windows using, lowsy excuse for a developer doesn't mean he's going to get flamed, you insensitive clod!

Microsoft sells this for money? It wants us all to be using this? How is this a useful feature? Why is it designed this way? Why does an OS put obstacles like this in front of its users?
