Log in as administrator, open a command window and type
cacls "c:\\Program Files\\Boinc" /t /e /g myuser:f
Then you can run Boinc when logged in as myuser.


That command gave:

"The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed."

I'm trying to install Boinc on my WinXP laptop(if only it were as easy as my debian box).

Ideally, I'd like to run Boinc when I am logged into my user, but not as administrator. I've installed many programs in c:/Documents and Settings/myuser/Program Files. However, when I try and install Boinc, it wants me to be the adminstrator, so I log in to admin.

Once I've installed the program, I choose that I'd like it to run when anyone is logged in. So, I log out, and then log back in to my normal user, and guess what - no boinc! I try to browse to the c:/Program Files/Boinc but I don't have access to this directory as my usual user.

I've also tried running Boinc as a daemon, regardless of who is logged in. However, Boinc asks for a username and password (of the admin). My admin (don't ask why) doesn't have a password, but Boinc insists that there should be one. I enter one, and, of course, Boinc fails to initialise the 'service'.

Pls advise.
TIA
Adam
