I recently set up a limited account in XP and found that VV will not write the tracking database and log files in the default All Users location. If I change the location to an area within the limited user's profile--My Documents currently--it works fine. It doesn't seem like this should be necessary, it it?

No, it is not necessary.

Humm. . . So I should be able to run VV under a limited account without issue and this is a Windows problem then? Any idea then why I would need to do so? I can of course run it as Admin but that won't do for what I need.

Could the problem I'm having have to do with the User group permissions on the default location? They do not allow Modify, only Read+Execute.

Hi, I thought that the "All Users" folder allows everybody to write to it, but now I see also on my system that limited users are only allowed to read in that folder so that would be an issue for the log and the tracking database: the default location needs to be changed. thanks

I thought the same thing until I checked. But after thinking about it, it makes sense that All Users would only allow read+execute. You'll probably need to use %userprofile% to establish settings for each account.
