In Win2K (and later versions, and probably earlier NT versions) you can create
multiple user accounts, and users are members of groups (e.g. administrators,
users, guests). File permissions is something I'm familiar with in Unix but not
Windows, but the perms for LSynth (right-click the app, properties, security)
look okay to me. I installed LSynth as an administrator (a user account in the
administrators group) and I could only run it as a user in the admin group.
This either means it was installed with some restrictive permissions setting
that I'm not aware of (and which admin accounts ignore), or perhaps for some
reason only members of same group as the installer can run it, or perhaps it
has something to do with the registry, of which I'm totally ignorant. As I
said, I'm a Unix geek. Windows is like hostile territory :-)

That callout feature looks really good. I'm not yet ready to create
instructions, but I'll grab the latest.
Thanks,
Amy
