Everything quit working after I passworded user accounts

[JNygren]

I recently created a 'limited' user account on my Windows XP system, and passworded the admin accounts. Everything was working from this new account. (I think I had to do something about 'permissions' in the Program Files folder so the database could be created. I don't remember.)

Then I set a password for the default Administrator account, and selected 'Make My Documents Private'. This broke Everything. I have tried to undo the private folders settings, but I can't get back to a working Everything. Under the 'Tools - Options - Volumes' tab, when I try to add C: I get the "Unable to open volume \\.\C:" error (Title: Open USN Journal)

What do I need to do to get back to Everything working on a Limited user account?

If you right-click the Everything icon, & 'Run as...", selecting an Administrator account ... ?
(Everything needs to run under an Administrator account.)

Thank you for replying.

Wouldn't this require that the user know the Administrator account password? That kinda defeats the purpose of passwording the account in the first place.

I would accept the advice that I have seen here and elsewhere in the FAQs/Forums (Everything needs to run under an Administrator account), except that it was working correctly from my 'limited' account up until Wednesday. To get it working, I had to use CACLS to give 'User' accounts 'C' (change) permission for the 'C:\Program Files\Everything' folder. But now something else is preventing Everything from running; something that I apparently changed when I set 'Make My Documents Private' for the Administrator account, and that I can't figure out how to undo.

Sorry to be a pain, but Everything was working, and I just want to understand how to get back to that point.
