I usually use regmon and filemon to find out where the failure is then twak the ACL's. We don't give admin or power users out to anyone. ________________________________ From: windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Herchenbach, Jim Sent: Friday, August 05, 2005 5:18 PM To: windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [windows2000] Re: User rights and applications You can always make those few programs run as administrator, or would that be too much set up time involved.

If you change the local privileges to Administrator then the program runs fine. What do most of you do in these situations.....give the user admin rights? Is there another way around this? Thanks in advance, Paul
