I have, in the past, gone to great lengths to implement registry and NTFS permissions for apps. It does work using the built-in File and Registry security settings options, but it can quickly become an administrative nightmare. So, my main advice is to plan carefully, and go for it - if you can deal with the ongoing changes easily (such as task pad views) Doug Delaney Infrastructure Specialist - Integration Engineering-GM EDS GM Desktop Engineering 985 W.

I have in house apps that I've determined the required permissions for registry keys and folder permissions to run without admin rights. Not everyone is running the same apps, so I'm trying to see how I can use Group policy to set these permissions or if I should use it at all.
