The title is self-explaining: if a standard user is logged-in, mptray.exe is unable to start-up.

The old version of mptray.exe (the one not included in MP 1.0, but downloadable separately from MP site) did work with MP 1.0, also with standard users credentials, but it crashes with MP 1.1.

No logs can be recorded, simply mptray.exe does not start.

The use of runas, as workaround, with the credentials of an administrator works but it is currently not applicable since, with XP Home Edition, the administrator password must be re-entered every time mptray.exe is started using runas.

Also, changing the standard user in administrator works but it is currently not applicable since it conflicts with my "personal" home PC "security policies".

Any other idea?

Thanks in advance.
