Multiple users in Win XP

#2 04-08-2006, 03:34 AM

This sounds similar to my problem. My registry entries for mny, ofx, and
mbf were only accessible by account that I used for install. Take a look at
permissions on HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. The file type entries did not inherit from
parent HKCR.

WARNING: Do not attempt to change this unless you are familiar with Windows
Registry.

I am not a eXtra Pain user ( running 2K ) but it sounds like mny might
be confused by 2005 residual registry stuff. Did you uninstall mny 05
before installing 06? There should be no need to run Mny06 from an
administrator id ... only the install naturally.

Try the pconpoint site. They sell a Windows repair program that
worked for a friend who had a really tough laptop bios screwup that
was caused by software. They have a free site trial / test version
that will fix some problems that you can run from their site. It
might help. I can not recommend buying their whole program but the
free test has been known to repair some bugs and registry problems.

Do a complete uninstall of all Money versions before running pconpoint
trial.

It should work, I think.

I would install Money 2006 into her account also to try to fix this.

A little background: Recently upgraded to 2006 Premium from 2005. With Money
2005 I had no problems with 2 different users with Win XP. Everything,
including imports worked fine with each seperate user. Since I have upgraded
to 2006, my account (admin) works fine. But my spouses account (under her
own win xp account, also with admin privileges) does not recognize any of
the money file types (mny, mbf, ofx) and downloads have to be saved to
computer and imported, where in the past she was able to direct import.
Tried adding file types as registered file types in windows with no luck and
can't seem to find anything on this issue with microsft. Anyone have any
ideas or help?
