Thank you, Roger, I tried to change the folder attributes manually(from the command prompt) as suggest the TID you suggested, but it didn't work. The error continues poping up when somebody tries to execute the program from a limited account in XP.
By the way, do you know what is the attrib comand's sintax to check the attributes on a file/folder??.
