Acad 2004 Express Tools will not load

[SteveSmith]

Hi,

I have loaded AutoCAD 2004 directly onto my system. I am a power user on our network. When I logged on as an administrator, express tools loaded just fine. But when I logged on as myself, express tools will not load. Any ideas out there?

Thanks,

I will answer my own question. As an administrator, using explorer from My Computer, I went to the administrator's file under Documents and Settings. There is a hidden folder called Application Data ( Tools>Folder Options>View - click "Show hidden files and folders&quot. From there go to: Autodesk\AutoCAD 2004\R16.0\enu\Support.

Once there I copied the six (6) files named "acetmain" and placed them in the same area under my real user name. Express Tools is now loaded and works.
