I have installed Windows 2000 on my PC!Common users are logging to it,but cannot run any installed SW ! After I changed their user rights to specific PC, they are able to run all installed SW on PC! Do someone know,how to deal with this problem without enabling users-power users privilegies ?

some applications require read/write access to the folder that it is installed on.

Some applications also require read/write access to certain registry entries.

Try the first, then the registry.

I have tried to change read/write access to folder in which application is installed,but didn't work!
How Can I change access permissions in registry entries?

you need to know what registry keys the application needs. use regedt32.exe, find the key, then go to security in the menu, select permissions.

You can try to add that group to the all registry keys.

I normally do a search, if you don't know what registry keys, I would call the maker of the application.
