During the startup MP chrashes. Is there any way to launch MP as guest user? If not MP should check this on startup and aborting it with a message "You cannot launch MP as a guest user. Please logon as normal user." instead of chrashing.

    You could be right on the message part, but MP does need certain write permissions which a guest account just does not supply.

    Not sure where we can go on this point, because that's a little bit outside MP's normal use.

    If someone has ideas\suggestions please feel free to comment.

    As a software developer I really prefer to tell people "not with this version" / "more rights needed" / ... than anybody seeing my applications chrash.

    Would it be able to put all the needed write permissions on startup to a special folder? Then it would be possible for an admin to give the necessary rights for this special folder for guest accounts, too.
    What rights are needed where?
