I inherited a workgroup of 30 NT 4.0 machines. My problem is on one of them, regular users can not acces IE unless they are part of Admin Group. I tried creating a new user and got error message "You are restricted from running IE because you are not an admin on this machine". I think there has to be a problem on NT side rather than IE issue. Can anyone guide me to the light. Thanks a million.

Sounds like maybe you need to check the permissions. Is IE the only program that you have problems with ? If the User group does not have the proper permissions then he may not be able to execute programs. Remember that if it is an NTFS partition then these permissions could be applied to an individual file. So could have rights to everything else but if he does not have permission to execute the IE .exe file then it will not run for him.

Yes, I have checked the permissions. Its actaully on a fat partition and IE is the only thing giving me a headache.

Sometimes a policy may be in place on the machine which effectively creates a locked down machine. Use the policy manager to verify if that is the case.
