How can non administrator acces to Labview programs?

I am using Labview 7.0 from a PC with windows XP 2002. I log on as administrator and saved some VIs and subVi. When I try to acces them as non administrator, there are error messages and I cannot run the Vi. It seems that as administrator I have acces to vi and sub vi that are not accessible by non administrators. I need to have this acces as non administrator. Do you know what I have to do?

That problem probably lies in Windows, not LabVIEW.

As administrator, right click on the VI ->properties->security, and you should be able to change the permissions from there. 

Note however, that these settings do not apply to the directory in which the VI is, nor any of the ones above it.  Consider making a new directory for the vi and subvi's in one that is already accessable to a normal user.

Novatron is correct.

The easiest way around that is to give yourself (login id) administrative rights 😉  Basically, the problem lies with permission to allow modifying a file (read / write).

The alternative is as Novatron mentions, to login as Admin and set the permissions for the folders that you are using when loggin in with your own id.  The advantage with the latter is that it can prevent others from modifying your vi's.  However, if you're the only one using that particular PC, then you could simply login as Admin, or set your login id as an administrator.
