[Logic] Logic 7 and Win XP

[Lee Lorentz]

I am the only "Admin"-level user logging in to my XP box, so if it's
easiest to just run Logic as the privileged user, then it can be done.

It sounds like something Dennis might want to address in the help system
or the web site under "XP hints".

You're the second list member to suggest granting full access to the
Logic directory tree, but no one has yet mentioned how this is done. 
I've tried the XP on line help, but didn't find anything useful.  Just
one note about dragging the stuff to be shared over to a shared
directory, but that doesn't seem appropriate for a program with it's own
directory structure.
