XP Limited User

[Jon H]

With Windows XP is it possible to give a limited user; ie. me, administrator rights over one particular folder; ie. C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9?

At the moment I have to log onto my Dad's userspace every time I make changes or install addons.

Just thaught it might be useful...

Offer to pay at least half of your Dad's telephone bill allowing you Internet access, and he may come to some amicable arrangement with you... ...!
