I have installed Paint Shop Pro 7 under XP Home Edition SP2 using the Jasc CD>Autorun>Install button.
When I am asked "make available to all users" I answer "yes".
When I am asked "put icon on desk top" I answer "yes".
When I click on the desktop icon as a General Admin user, the program starts.
When I click on Start>AllPrograms>Jasc Software>Paint Shop Pro 7 as a General Admin user, the program starts.
When I Switch to my limited user account and:
click on the desktop icon I get a panel "Browse for folder - Please choose a user category"
with Paint Shop pro 7 highlighted
click on OK - nothing happens
right click on Paint Shop Pro 7 - I get "What's this?"
click on Cancel - the panel disappears.
click on Start>All Programs>Jasc Software>Paint Shop Pro 7, I get the same thing.
I get the same thing if I change the user account to Computer Administer.

I can start many other programs from icons on the user desktop.

Any suggestions as to the cause of my problem?

When I restarted XP this morning, the user account icon now starts the program.

Sorry for the false alarm.
