    Hello All,
    I installed Call of Duty and I can only play it on my main user account. I have another user account set up for my kids. When I try to play it on their account it will not play.
    How can I set it up where more than one user account can play. This would also be for any other software that I want both accounts to be able to use.

    Thanks for your help.

    Try this ....

    In Windows Explorer ....

    Tools > Folder Options > View - scroll down to the bottom and unclick 'Use Simple File Sharing'.

    Close WE, reopen it and navigate to the *.exe file for Call of Duty, right click on it and select the security tab and add your kids account, set permissions and OK out.

    Thanks PeteC,

    I set the kids user account to administrator and they were able to play. I tried your info but couldnt get it to work(probalby I was doing something wrong). I am still trying to make it where they can play but not have admin access.

    Thanks for your help.

    This is a slightly grey area for me, but if you log on with Administrative rights, right click on the *.exe file > Properties > Security you should see the dialogue box shown below.

    Add your kids account if not already present and check the Full Control box and OK out.

    This should allow them to play the game from their account - I think :D
