I'm running PC's using NT 4.0 workstation, and I recently bought and installed new Microsoft(5 button) Intellimouse's. My problem is that I can configure the mice when logged in as Administrator, but when my users log on, they can't program the mouse and it doesn't hold the settings that we're established under Admin. Am I just missing something obvious?? Thanks to anyone who can give me some suggestions.

In your statement you mentioned 5 button mouse ? I haven't seen one of that type yet..The most that I seen is just three..

Well , if it is a security settings you could run the snap in and that is the security template and select "security configuration and analysis" then select the ws security template . analyze and then configure your computer and save it to a console.

The first thing I'd try is to grant the user temporary access as admin of the machine, then install the drivers, and then remove the access.

I'm not so sure that making them a Power User will do what you want, and still maintain your security needs... Give this a try and see what happens. They may be limited to just 3 buttons though. If this doesn't help, look at any network or system policies you have in place as well.
