First, I need to acknowledge the incredible value of this site, and the amazing generosity of its members. I have been lurking for weeks, sucking down the tutorials, reviews, FAQs, MyPDAs, and threads, and can only imagine how much frustration I would have experienced setting up a PDA without it. Thanks.

My info: Bought a lightly used X50v (2003SE) on eBay weeks ago, in hopes of organizing an increasingly complex life. I use Tbird and Lightning, and sync Lightning to Google iCalendar. My home desktop is Win XP Pro, and I use administrator account to manage the PC, but do all my work (email, contacts, surfing, data) on the limited/restricted user account I have set up (for safety). I installed ActiveSync 4.5 as administrator, and plan to install BirdieSync as administrator, both of which will/do show up as usable programs in the limited user account. BirdieSync requires AS 4.5. I want to do all my syncing between PC and PDA while logged in as limited user (that's where all my data are).

My question: When installing utilities and apps for the PDA (such as Sprite, CabInstl, Pocket Controller, Sound Explorer, MemMaid, Informant) do I need to be logged in as administrator? If yes, will these apps show up as usable programs when I'm later logged in as limited user, or do I need to rethink my strategy? I have searched the site but have been unable to find an answer.

Thanks in advance. Bob
