Newbie with a question (please help)

Hi,


I've been using spybot for a while. I've just after reformatting my parents machine run into a bit of a snag. We have a multiple user acc. setup and only on the one account is spybot showing as working with tea timer in the background (ie. at the bottom right quick launch showing what's happening). I have setup the accounts so that spybot comes on automatically. However, my parents (being slightly elderly) are stressed out about it only coming on one account. I'm using v. 1.6.1- has anyone got any ideas?


Thanks for your help in advance.

Cheers,

jclift26:

In order to have TeaTimer start in a multiple user environment for users other than the one that installed TeaTimer, you must:
Logon as whatever user you want to run Teatimer under.
Start Spybot S&D > Mode > Advanced Mode > Tools > Resident.
Check the following setting:
Resident “TeaTimer” (Protection of over-all system settings) Active”.
This is necessary because the run key entry (startup entry) is stored in the current user (HKCU) Registry hive rather than the local machine (HKLM) hive as follows:


[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"SpybotSD TeaTimer"="C:\\Program Files\\Spybot - Search & Destroy\\TeaTimer.exe"
