Hi there!
Maybe some of you has met such problem.I have installed some software as administrator,but when normal user is loging the application says that ther is no rights to start the application.This is just for some kinds of application.If i change the user to power user or admin everything works,but i dont want to give to the user such rights.
Any ideas?
 
Could be a number of things - eg, permissions to files/folders used by app, permissions to registry entries used by the apps. You could try playing with permissions in these areas (giving everyone full access), but you might be better just adding them to Power Users (and not telling them!)
 
It would be better to take the time and use regmon and filemon to see what files and registry entries they need access to and give them only access to those areas. Power users can get away with installing certain types of software that you don't really want on your network; Spyware comes to mind.
