That's not exactly how it works. Designers and Respondents
are completely separate entities... So what you want to do
is make the survey private, then click on the survey name
in the "Access" page. This will bring up a page that will
let you choose which groups can fill out the survey, and
how many times they are allowed, then make sure the
Respondent is part of the group.

I have no clue on this one. I don't run windows at all so I
cannot really test it. From searching on google it seems to
be a browser problem -- I didn't find any immediate
solutions.

It has all been combined into "handler.php" and
"handler-prefix.php". See the comments inside
handler-prefix on how to use it.
