Re: Strange permissions problem

I read somewhere an article that if you remove Everyone group, you also
disable access to the SYSTEM account. This will cause permission problems
mostly to services, like IIS service. The solution is to either add Everyone
back, or add SYSTEM with full permissions.

Also, the user must be at least a Power User in order for the user to run
ActiveX projects in VB6 IDE. This is because only Administrators and Power
Users have write access to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. When you run an ActiveX
project in the IDE, VB6 registers the following file first:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98\VB6DEBUG.DLL

If you compile, VB6 will create the necessary registry entries and points
them to your compiled file so you don't have to register it. This obviously
fails if the user is just a member of Users group. Members of Users group
can't install most software.
