I have 4 limited users on my computer. I am the administrator. When my son
Allan logs on (limited user) he can't save his partially played games of
Starcraft (or other games also). The error message says that there isn't
enough disk space or that he doesn't have rights. If I let him play the
game under my login everything seems to work just fine. Is there any way
that limited users can be allowed to access the hard drive for saving files
(game scenarios and the like)?

Your help woule be appreciated.

Bruce

Look for the folder where the game was installed. Could be under Program
Files. Take not of the settings. Change the Security Settings and give
"Users" full control. Click Apply and try the game again under limited user
account. If it work, great. If not revert back to the original settings.
Another thing, if it work, try lowering the rights to "Modify" and see if it
works.
