Hello all,
I am a new to VB. I already write the small program but it only work when I
log in as administrator if I log in as user the program will not load. I
see some program when I install it asks " Any One who uses this computer or
for myself only." I would appreciate so much if any of you give me a hints
how to write it. Thank you so much.

I believe all that the installer is doing when it asks you this question is
working out where to put the Start Menu shortcut icons.

If you say for "anyone that uses this computer", it puts them in:

C:\Documents and Settings\(username)\Start Menu

If you say "for myself only", it puts them in:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu

If the problem you're having is that your program doesn't appear in the
start menu for non-admin users, that could be the problem. But if the
program is in the menu but doesn't work when you run it, then you need to
post more details about the problem such as the error message you get, what
your code is trying to do, etc.

Hope that helps,

Is your program failing with a SecurityException? If so I would probably
be able to tell you what is happening if you post the exception details. :-)
