DropMyRights
« on: August 19, 2007, 01:53:58 PM »
Hi,after struggling since yesterday to install DropMyRights, ( yes I am an idiot ) I've finally managed it.I downloaded the program from Cnet,but found following the instructions did not work.I think it was because the program by default downloads to ' My Documents',and when trying to use it for Firefox,I kept getting an invalid path error.Anyway I found a site with clearer instructions,that lets you copy and paste the paths.So if there are any other idiots out there that have struggled to install DropMyRights,then heres a simpler guide

The easiest way is to install it into its own folder outside my documents, like C:\DMR this not only is outside the my documents folder (which is a weird folder in its own right) but it is also mych shorter to type when creating shortcuts to run firefox or any other application under dropmyrights.

Personally I wouldn't download files to the my documents folder but choose one like c:\downloads or d:\downloads if you have two partitions or drives.

Also check Bob's, setup instructions and importantly the dropmyrights.msi file needed as MS have now cleared the original link.
