We have an app here at work that will only run as a user with admin rights. In 2k they could be a power user but not in xp. The developers here at work do not want to listen and think that giving the user admin rights is the best solution. I can think a more that a couple of reasons not to give all the users local admin rights but that is a different post.

My question is other then scripting RunAs with VBscript to run the app is there any way to give the users admin like rights for just that app. Like with a GPO or regedit hack. If scripting is the only solution then how can I encrypt the script so my password is not in clear text. Or if this is not the right newsgroup let me know where to go


Grant the Users group full access permission to that application's folder. Right click on the folder, Properties and select Security tab, select Users and then check mark Allow next to Full Control and click Apply. If Security tab isn't there then you'll need to trun off Simple File Sharing in Tools, Folder options, View, scoll all the way down and uncheck it.
