I am network administrator of an educational institute. The problem is that when some students try to run some scripts in Visual Basic or try to run Interdev they find error and the appliction close down after that error. But when i give them administrative rights they can run all these apllictions without getting any error but they also some times delete system files. I wanna ask that how can they run Visual Studio with out getting the administrative rights

Try to determine what the directory or file is that the error complains about and then create a new group that has just enough rights to make the changes. This keeps them from having too many rights. Especially because you may not know what they are doing otherwise. One good example was that we had a user complain about not being able to write to a direcory and when he was given admin rights by the IT staff the first thing he did was create a local account on the machine within the administrators group. We do check these and the account was deleted and admin rights removed, but you still never know.
