Hello Everyone,

Some applications installed by administrator can't be run by users in W2K Pro. even the folder is shared to users with full controll permission. I even put a user into group of power and backup. It still doesn't work.

Thanks for all inputs

What type of users are trying to use those programs(simple users, power users)? Maybe the programs need to wright some informations into the registry every time the program is accessed and because of the policy enforcement the users are not allowed to do that. Try to loosen up the policies.

Also check the NTFS permissions to the program folder and you may have to give them permissions to the registry entry the program created. You can set registry permissions using regedt32.
