Run Photshop Elements 3 from a non-admin account
Authored by: ClassicUser on Nov 02, '04 06:14:19PM

I completely agree with the previous response: This is NOT acceptable.

THE answer to this problem is for customers who have purchased Photoshop Elements (and other applications?) to complain back to Adobe that their software is NON-FUNCTIONAL.

Any preference modifications should be stored in the user domain - NOT the machine domain. Forcing users to tweak ownership settings just to get the application to run, is incredibly wrong - and can lead to significant potential security holes in the future. This application is simply broken, when it comes to use in a multi-user operating system - which Mac OS X certainly is.

Please, everyone: Don't just "accept" when things like this creep up - reply back to the developers, and convince them to do things The Right Way™, for all of our benefit...
