[Web4lib] Reader Rabbit and administrator rights

[Phalbe Henriksen]

Folks,

This is slightly off-topic. It's not about the web, but it is about 
computers and software:

We have purchased many copies of Reader Rabbit and thought we'd be 
able to install the two CD's onto the hard drive of our public 
computers. An eleemosynary organization paid for these, so this has 
become a ticklish problem.

Our new IT person, who has never done IT in a library before, says 
that kids will have to borrow the CD's from a service desk and put 
them in the CD drives each time they want to use the program. 
Otherwise, we'd have to give them administrator rights to the computer.

Is this really, really correct? Is there no other way children can 
log in and use the program on the hard drive???

Thanks.
