Windows 2000 professional with an NTFS partition. Administrator of Domain can access any application, local Admin, Power Users, Users, cannot. The applications have been shared and each user has permissions to the files. The application is Client Access for AS400 connection. The Event log " Windows cannot unload registry file" Does anyone know what the problem is? Or, can someone tell me how to share applications for all users. Thanks,

I am having problems similar to your with applications the administrator installs. Users cannot open the app. because they do not have write permissions to it. Did you install the app as domain admin or as the local admin? Is your network all win2k or do you have winnt servers? I could use a little more info here. The key is the "write" permission to the app.
I solved my prob by installing the app. logging in as the local admin and then giving the user "power user" status and since then, no more problems.
Good luck!
