I've installed PhotoShop 7 on a Win2k machine. When a user other than a local or domain administrator tries to use it, they get the error (this file faile to execute because it is locked. use the "properties" command in windows explorer to fix). I've set the permissions to the least restrictive. I've also modified the registry to allow users full access. What else can i do to fix this problem?

Try uninstalling the software. Giving a normal user admin rights. Reinstalling the software. Removing the admin rights from normal user. That user should now be able to use without any problems.

This isn't always true though. I work for a software House and they have found that some Microsoft Software that Was written for Win95/98 Had similar problems when installing on Win2K. We had to patch our own software to get round the Issue. Normally due to how Win2K protects the Registry.
