Re: Running programs for non-previleged users on XP



Try setting up failure auditing on the local machine hive. Run regedt32.exe
then browse to HKLM, then
Edit|Permissions|Advanced|Auditing|Add|"everyone"|OK then check the "Failed"
box on Full Control, Set Value, Create Subkey, Enumerate Subkey, Delete,
Create Link

Then try again logged on as a normal user. Then check the Event log security
for errors.

| ===========
|
| (1) You write a program using some programming language, say, C#.
|
| (2) You make an assembly out of the program by compiling it. It is a
| single module assembly.
|
| (3) You create a setup program for this.
|
| (4) During the setup, the user, an administrator group user, selects
| the option, "Install this program for all the people who use this
| computer, and not just for me."
|
| (5) The administrator group user finishes installing the program. Then
| he goes on to use it. He is able to use it.
|
| (6) The administrator group user logs off.
|
| (7) Another user, let's call him by the name John, who's only a
| "regular user" who does not belong to the administrator group (not even
| a Power User), logs in and wants to use the program. He double-clicks
| on the program exe icon on the desktop. It doesn't work for him.
|
|
| Questions:
| ============
| (1) Is is even possible or a reasonable demand that the user who does
| not have administrative previliges be able to use the program. It must
| be noted that the intention is so, since the administrator who
| installed the program supplied the choice "Install for everyone" while
| installing it.
|
| (2) If it is possible and a reasonable demand, how can it be
| accomplished?

| the bare essentials of the problem.
