Thanks, Axel. It sounds like it must some strange Windows thing and just reinstalling will be quickest solution. Thanks!

Subject: Re: vmd-l: New User Cannot Access VMD on Windows

That depends on how VMD was installed.
Windows 10 has some built-in "tricks" that creates a virtual per-user file system. You need to install VMD with administrator privileges into a system folder so it is visible to all users. Otherwise each user needs to install their own copy into their personal folders (that will look like the same for each user but are different).

Hi,
Sorry to bother the list on such a mundane question, but I can't find the answer in the online materials.
We have a student computer which recently began to be used by a new student. The computer runs Windows 10 and VMD was installed before her arrival. VMD does not show up as installed on her start menu and she also cannot run it by specifying the full path and command name. However, VMD was used on the same machine by a previous student on a regular basis.
Does VMD need to be reinstalled (every time ?) for a new user to access it or is there some other way to add the user to some hidden access list.
Thanks,
--Fred
