Yep. More accurately, right clicking my QuickLaunch icon which is a shortcut to MM non-skinned. Presumably it would have installed MM (after much interaction from me) in another user account.

Guest, nohitter: Thanks both, but perhaps I didn't explain clearly enough. I am the administrator. Or, at least I have Administrator privileges/permissions. What I was trying to do was change a script unthinkingly installed recently using the default (Current User) to All Users. So that I could remove the unnecessary (and to me confusing) separate folder of scripts I showed earlier.

I've now succeeded, by first uninstalling those from Tools > Extensions, then re-installing from the latest MMIP, and this time unchecking the default option.

Follow these instructions to run MM as admin in XP:

Leave MM open, double click mmip for the script that you want to install, uncheck the box in the install dialogue and ok.

It shows as greyed out because you are not running MM as admin.
Well, I'm not too sure of my facts here, but as I have Admin rights on this XP Pro Pc didn't that mean I am?

If not, how do I proceed please?
Really not sure on XP but for Vista, 7, 8 you have to right click the MM icon > Run as administrator

Thanks nohitter, understood. What about when it's greyed out, like this?

Yesterday I installed that script to ensure it was up to date (without unchecking that option - a mistake). Then I manually transferred it across to
C:\Program Files\MediaMonkey\Scripts\Auto and changed Scripts.ini as per trixmoto's instructions at
http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewto ... 15#p113431

Is that why that option is now shown as inaccessible? How should I proceed to get it formally recognised as an All Users?

I didn't get offered such an option as fas as I know! And as the sole user of this XP PC I have administrator rights.

If you check the option to install for all users during installation of an addon the script will be put into Program Files folder. However this will require you to run Mediamonkey as administrator for the installation.

I want all my scripts to be in one place, namely C:\Program Files\MediaMonkey\Scripts\ (and \Auto of course). And for Script.ini in that folder to be the one that gets edited.

How can I ensure that happens automatically when I install from an MMIP please. Several I've just installed went instead to C:\Documents and Settings\Terry\Application Data\MediaMonkey\Scripts\

IOW, I want all scripts to be for All Users, not Current User.
