   Hi, I’ve been testing both installers (32/64) and have no problems neither with adminstrator or limited accounts.

   Tested on Windows XP SP3 and Windows XP x64 SP2.

   No problems at all. I’ll continue the testing.

   Good-bye.-

   By the way, this new version is multi-user, because of that the program tries to get user’s folder (ex: “C:\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Application Data”) and here stores icon’s data and language file. Because of that, each user (administrator or limited) can store his own data and language preferences.

   Version 1.03 doesn’t have this feature. Please go to your user folder and look inside it for a folder called IconSort. Remove it if exists and try the program again.

   It will be grear ff you can test the program in another copy of Windows.

   Thanks for your support.

   = I have a ntfs partition, and compressed the disk. The problem is, if an harddisk have the “[C:\Documents and Settings\" and it sub-directory(s)], user directory compressed, …

   In example = if your username is (MyAccount). Then if = “C:\Documents and Settings\MyAccount”, is not compressed, it make no bug. But compress the directory and it sub-directory(s) = “C:\Documents and Settings\MyAccount”, then it make the bug. Also, … i have try to made 2 accounts in a virtual machine, and it make the bug, inside the compressed user directorys.

   I have tested that you can keep the compression, on the disk, but only dont compress the “C:\Documents and Settings”, section.
   —
   At your side, try on a Windows that have, ntfs and compressed the disk.

   Fat32 dont make that bug, ntfs not compressed dont make that bug, ntfs compressed but users directory not compressed dont make that bug.

   Hi, it’s a very strange behavior the one that you describe. To obtains the full path of the user’s folder I’ve been using a Windows API called SHGetSpecialFolderLocation().

   If the API can’t obtains the path when the disc is compressed, thats a problem I can’t resolve.

   I’ll test it and I’ll try to find another way to obtain user’s folder.

   Thank you for everything.

   I’m sorry to say the new 64 bit ver also comes up with “unable to get users folder” with my 64bit vista HP laptop.
   I’ve been using previous versions and really appreciate the program.

    I really like this application and wanted to contribute a modification that I made to the source. I made a small modification that prevents launching multiple copies of the IconSort.exe. I tested the x64 binary on 2003 x64 and the x32 binary on XP SP3 x32. Feel free to post any questions or comments and I’ll try to reply ASAP.

    Thanks,
    Steve
