@jaredbusch Actually it's MUCH easier for her to edit a text file than an XML file.

Well that would be 100% false as XML is a text file.
-
@jaredbusch Ok, a PLAIN text file.
Typing this: Remember to give 10% off of all shots
Is much easier than her doing it in XML.

And kicking hte user off the computer so she can log in with admin rights to change a file that the user will not be allowed to change is easier than simply editing a file on a share somewhere?
-
@jaredbusch Yes, in this case no one uses the computer, it's just setup for display. No one except her uses it.
So YES.

So YES.Sounds like a post-it note on the monitor is the correct solution here

A post it doesn't scroll information on the bottom of the screen.

More information that might have been assertive in the beginning.

Correct, it doesn't scroll, but it can display static information, which is what you're describing.

Yes but she wants it to scroll several different things.

Several different post-it notes then. Sorry. Couldn't resist.

Yes, the end user says that is too complicated.

Don't let the end user put these changes in then?

OK, time to find something else then.. or - heck, hire JB's team of programmers to write something.

Time for her to delegate the task of updating an XML file to you. . . .

I'm being dead serious here, have you asked her if post-it notes would work? If she needs a reminder to tell the customer to have a good day or that toilet paper is 10% off, it seriously could be the correct solution. I have coworkers that have up to 10 post-its on the monitor, phone, etc. at any given time. We also use label makers to more permanently attach certain things like "Transfer * Ext = VM" right on the phone...
