I am running an XP Home system with an admin user, and a number of

access, the limited user can only open the file in read-only mode. Files
created by limited users can subsequently be opened in full access mode
with no problems.
I cant seem to find anyone on google, or searching this mailing list.
Nor can I find any settings locking access to files to specific types of
users. What am I missing?
thanks.
First of all, why would you want to use the Admin user for working on
files? That should be done only as a limited user. Most likely, any files
created as the admin user will have its permissions set so that only the
admin user can change them. That is the purpose of the admin user in the
first place.
Suggestion: stop using the admin user for anything other than modifying
system files when necessary.

Im not, its just the way the person ive set the system up for wants it.
Some of the documents had been created historically anyway, when the
system was running as an admin only default windows install.
Im not sure that the purpose of the admin user is specifically to create
files that cant be edited by limited users?
Are you saying that there is no way for a file saved by an admin, even
if saved to a shared directory, to be fully accessed by a limited user?
Is this a feature of windows or openoffice?
