I just had to fix something on my kids' XP Pro computer, related to not
installing a particular OS update from Microsoft. It failed repeatedly. I
found something on technet that described running secedit with a long string
of parameters. Basically, it reset some reg key permissions back to default.
The person recommending it included parameters that narrowed the focus to
certain branches.

That fixed that problem, and I suspect it cleaned up some stuff. If
interested I can find the reference and provide a link here. It does seem
applicable.

I have similar setup. After several days of trial-and-error I fixed the
problem and as a byproduct went through the crash course on windows
registry.

I uninstalled MNY 2006 and re-installed 2003. I discovered similar problem
although it used to work fine. Then I tried installing other programs and
found they all experience same issue in the non-installer profiles. I
finally went through the Windows registry and figured out that permissions
on keys under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT are being set to be applicable only to
installer and are not being inherited from parent object. I looked at the
keys for older programs under HKCR and they had proper permissions(read
access to Users) inherited from Parent Object. I've spent several hours
researching this on Internet. I finally got a hold of another XP machine and
compared my HKCR permission to this machine. I found that somehow
permissions at the top level(HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT) got changed (not sure when
it happened and how). I changed them to match and everything is working
fine.

Thanks.

I'm using Money 2006 on XP Pro, installed as administrator and run in a
different limited account. No problems with OFX downloads. I use online
banking extensively. I do not use a Passport.

How does that differ from how you're using Money, and what you're trying to
accomplish?

Unbelievable. To make a long story short, the answer from MS support is that
Money 2006 is not supported in multiple XP profiles. In addition, it can
only be installed using account with administrator privileges. It didn't
matter to them that I can still invoke Money in secondary profiles(including
limited user profile) and it just MNY/OFX files are not being properly
associated.

I guess I will have to live with saving OFX files to disk and then importing
them manually.

That's correct. I also found that OFX association is missing.
I'm going to try your suggestion. Thanks

I am assuming that you can open the file and the Money file icon
(association) is missing. If so, I had the same problem. My other users
were Administrators.
Install TweakUI for XP,
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/d...powertoys.mspx
then locate Repair, Then rebuild Icons. That will do it...Bob

Let us know what you learn.

You might try right-clicking setup.exe in Windows Explorer as the
limited user, and choose RunAs: Administrator.

The other account is limited user(I always run everything from this
account). I tried reinstalling again and it does not fix the problem. The
registry entry for MNY is missing. I'm considering copying the registry key
and values from administrator to limited user. I also talked to Microsoft
last night and they will contact me next week to look at this problem.

If the other XP account is an administrator account, you can
reinstall from there.

If not, I am thinking that reinstalling from that built-in
"administrator" account should work also. Watch for any selection as
to whether you want it to work from all accounts, or just the one. I
am not sure there is such a thing. But in any case, I expect
reinstalling from either account should fix it.

I installed Money 2006 from built-in "administrator" account on Windows XP.
When I login using another XP account, the file type association with Money
2006 program is not there.

Thanks
