I know this is very basic.

I have a tiny bit of experience with these Wyse thin clients, no experience with this Dell.

It's a Wyse/Dell 5020 running WE8.

I loaded an app (just 1)and shortcuts to My Computer & Device Manager.

It all shows in the admin account and also runs. The write filter is currently disabled.

How do I get the app and shortcuts I just added to show & run in a user (non-admin) account?

I'm reading/researching right now, but a few pointers would be appreciated!
 
To have shortcuts show up for all users they need to be placed in the Public user folder.

And that's what I had done!

The problem was the write filter had been turned back on before I copied the items in to the public folder! Not sure how that happened.

I'm up and running logged on as the administrator, including remote access using Google.

Next I have to get everything to run in a regular user account, or how to get the terminal to always boot to the admin account.

So far for some reason the small app is asking for passwords each time I log on to the user account instead of auto logging in.

Hopefully just some more tinkering!

Thank you VERY much for your response!
