Adobe Elements 6 and User accounts?

deuse · 25 Jan 2008 at 14:05

Hi all

I am running Vista 32bit(with 6 accounts) and I am trying Adobe Elements 6

But I have a small problem with this program
If say user 1 loads his pics into elements 6 does what ever
Then logs off and say user 2 logs on and starts elements 6
They can see the pics from the last user.

I am trying to find away that when elements loads with each
account user it goes to default settings or each user settings.
So that each user wont see what the other one did or looked at.

Is there away to do this?
Done google and nothing about this.

So any help would be good.
thanks for your time.

Are the pictures being loaded from a shared area, or an area that is only for user account a to access?

HI
From a shared area.

I loaded some pics into the origanizer from there hd.
then went into another account opend elements 6 and they
showed up.

They are young adults so they dont have there own private area.

the programme may simply not be capable of having individual settings for each users

its quite common for them to put stuff in programme directory, and that way its the same no matter what user opens the programme

if you want to stop your other half seeing what pr0n you've been looking at, best thing is to set up a folder that only you have access to, and put them in there.

The only way to achieve what you are aiming at is to use Photoshop Tags and use parental control on UAC to each user of the PC or file access administration. You have to set you other acounts up as child accounts and use file access according to age differential. That is the only way you can do that with PSE 5 or 6 on Vista. Another way is to set access control on certain directories so a Password is required to access the diectories. Essentially taking single ownership of a certain part of the PC.
Hope this helps.
