Administrator program in Guest Mode

Question

Hi

I am setting up a PC at work for an employee...

I have setup the PC so it automatically starts up and logs into the Guest account without stopping at the login screen.

The problem I have is that I want the user to run a program from time to time, but the program has a windows administrator required logo and lock on it!

Can I remove the need for this password? Because unless I can I will have to give the administrator password to the PC user and that rather defeats the point of booting up in guest mode.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Kindly

Gurpreet

PS I have tried to get an executable version if the program without the adminstrator lock, but no luck!

Not sure if it works...but Try this..

Right click on the program you want to execute and choose properties.
Search for the security tab and change the security permissions to all users.
Give the all permission(read/write/execute) to the guest account.
