Maybe I'm not explaining my problem with the correct verbiage. I took this from an article explaining the different user permission levels.
"Standard: The standard account provides you with a lot of control over how you use the computer, but not enough to affect other users. For example, a standard account lets you access personal files and customize many operating system settings, but it doesn't allow you to use other people's files, change security-related settings, or install new hardware or software."
This is the account user type I've assigned to my father, who messes up his machine weekly. He is still able to do so, and I can't find a way to stop that (he seems to commonly duplicate library folders, for one thing).
This explains the pop up I have to deal with.
"If you use a standard account and try to make a change that requires an administrator account, such as creating a new account, as described next, you'll still be able to do it, but Windows 7 will pop up a window confirming the action and requiring you to type an administrator account password to proceed."
When this pops up I lose control of keyboard, and can't even close the pop up window, but the mouse still functions for movement. I have to ask him to close the window, in order to continue.
Do you think this can be possible, or should I look to another program?
Thanks, Dave
