Keep in mind that we were *all* that clueless at one time. For some of us, it was 30 years ago, for others it's 30 hours ago.Anyone who was a security expert 30 yrs ago should be ridiculed. Their job description was "I inspect all 5 & 1/4 disks that get mailed to us" and should be a reason NOT to hire them :-PI guess we'll all just denounce our friend here for even thinking he could ask a question as STUPID and RIDICULOUS as this one, instead of actually knowing or thinking about one could do.Whatever, just add a local account that has write access to c:\progra~1\ and HKLM/Software, and grant the users read access to the same (xcacls and regedt32 + logon.bat will do this for you) and you are good. -JP
