User Profile Issues

[mr-es335]

Good day,
I hope that the day finds you well!

I am having an issue with User Profiles on the same system...say UserA and UserB.

I created a script under UserB...which functions as it should when logged in as UserB.

However, if I attempt to run the very same script as UserA, the script no longer functions!

Any ideas! This IS just a bit frustrating!

Thank you for your time...appreciated!

PS: Here is the script...which is launched from Drive D...

; -----------------------------------------------
#RequireAdmin
; -----------------------------------------------
Opt("MustDeclareVars", 1)
; -----------------------------------------------
ExitFolder()
LaunchFolder()
LaunchTxt()
; -----------------------------------------------
Func ExitFolder()
    Local $sSrcPath = "D:\"
    Local $iFileExists = FileExists($sSrcPath)
    ; -----------------------------------------------
    If $iFileExists Then
        WinClose($sSrcPath)
    EndIf
EndFunc   ;==>ExitFolder
; -----------------------------------------------
Func LaunchFolder()
    Local $sSrcPath = "D:\Initial_Prep"
    ; -----------------------------------------------
    ShellExecute($sSrcPath)
    WinWait($sSrcPath, "")
    WinMove($sSrcPath, "", 406, 100, 550, 650)
EndFunc   ;==>LaunchFolder
; -----------------------------------------------
Func LaunchTxt()
    Local $sSrcPath = "D:\Initial_Prep\Procedure_Initial_Prep.txt"
    ; -----------------------------------------------
    ShellExecute($sSrcPath)
    WinWaitActive($sSrcPath, "")
    WinMove($sSrcPath, "", 964, 100, 550, 650)
EndFunc   ;==>LaunchTxt
; -----------------------------------------------

I guess, either user A has admin rights, and user B doesn't have admin rights?

#requireadmin

 

or user b doen't have the required NTFS permissions do access what you address in your script.

keep in mind, that "no-access" is the highest "Privilege", if you get it by means of any group membership, you will lose access even as an administrator.

ioa747,

Yeppers!...Ya' got it!

What I do NOT understand, is that I always enable that feature...and thus, I have NO IDEA how that option got changed on UserA?!?
• I mean, I actually wrote a script that enables that feature at the very beginning of my Windows installations.

Here is that script [UpdateRegistry]:

; -----------------------------------------------
#RequireAdmin
; -----------------------------------------------
Opt("MustDeclareVars", 1)
; -----------------------------------------------
UpdateRegKey()
; -----------------------------------------------
Func UpdateRegKey()
    Local $sSrcPath = RunWait('REGEDIT /S "D:\Assets\RegKeys\UpdateExplorer.reg"')
    ; -----------------
    Local $sMessage = "Update Registry Key..." & @CRLF & @CRLF
    Local $iWidth = 450, $iHeight = 245, $iOpt = 5, $sFontName = "FuturaBQ-DemiBold", $iFontSize = 14
    ; -----------------------------------------------
    SplashTextOn("", $sMessage, $iWidth, $iHeight, -1, -1, $iOpt, $sFontName, $iFontSize)
    ; -----------------------------------------------
    For $i = 1 To $sSrcPath[0]
        Local $sResult = $sSrcPath[$i]
        ; -----------------------------------------------
        Switch $sResult
            Case 0
                $sResult = "The Registry WAS updated successfully!"
            Case 1
                $sResult = "The Registry WAS NOT updated successfully!"
        EndSwitch
        ; -----------------------------------------------
        $sMessage &= $sResult & @CRLF
    Next
    ; -----------------------------------------------
    $sMessage &= @CRLF & "Update Registry Keys is now completed..." & @CRLF
    ; -----------------------------------------------
    SplashTextOn("NOTICE!!", $sMessage, $iWidth, $iHeight, -1, -1, $iOpt, $sFontName, $iFontSize)
    Sleep(2000)
    SplashOff()
EndFunc   ;==>UpdateRegKey
; -----------------------------------------------

Here is the RegKey [UpdateExplorer.reg]:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]

; Display the full path in the title bar: [CabinetState]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CabinetState]
; Display the full path in the title bar...; 1=Enabled, 0=Disabled, Status: Enabled
"FullPath"=dword:00000001

Thanks again, 101747! You are very much "underdemciated!"....I mean "appreciated!"

Local $sSrcPath = RunWait('REGEDIT /S "D:\Assets\RegKeys\UpdateExplorer.reg"')
   ...
   ...
   ; -----------------------------------------------
    For $i = 1 To $sSrcPath[0]
        Local $sResult = $sSrcPath[$i]
        ; -----------------------------------------------
        Switch $sResult
            Case 0
                $sResult = "The Registry WAS updated successfully!"
            Case 1
                $sResult = "The Registry WAS NOT updated successfully!"
        EndSwitch
        ; -----------------------------------------------
        $sMessage &= $sResult & @CRLF
    Next
    ; -----------------------------------------------

$sSrcPath is not an array; it is a single exit code. This loop will not work as intended.
