Install forced install under Admin login, I would like it to run when a user is logged in instead. I normally surf the net as a user to restrict computer actions. If and how can this be done?

In one post, Alther said that the installation program installed for the current user to avoid privacy issues, trying to be a good citizen. Several administrators have posted various methods, but there is one method given in the FAQs. If you click Join Now – Software Features – Software FAQs you come to a page that includes:
" How do I set up my system so that the agent starts for several or all of the users that log in? You can place the World Community Grid icon into each of the user's startup folders (in Start Menu->Programs->Startup), which will make the agent start whenever those particular users log on. You can also place it in the startup folder for "All users" which should make it run for everyone. One way to get to these folders is via: My Computer -> Local disk C: -> Documents and Settings -> All Users -> Start Menu -> Programs -> Startup, for example. " |
