Still trying to solve this problem, unfortunately not yet sorted out.

It appears Logitech Messenger WebCam is the application causing poblems. As
with this uninstalled and everything else installed we have no problems with
the 'Access is denied' message to limited account users when they log-on.
Another thing that I have noticed when I log-off (Admin account) is a
'default beep' just before the log-off melody - this does not occur when
Logitech Messen..... is not installed.

Looking at msinfo32 I see 2 files loaded at startup to all users relating to
Logitech although these files do not appear in the All Users/Start
Menu/Programs/Startup folder. So the big question is can I
1) Stop these files from loading at startup
or 2) Allow them to load at startup without complaining

You learn something new everyday with windows!

Thanks for your help
