VB.NET & Win2K Users Security

[Amjad]

Hi,

I have installed a VB.NET application on a Windows 2000 computer. The
application writes to the hard disk under the its folder and writes to the
Registry under "LocalMachine\Software".

I want to allow Windows 2000 users to run this application using their
limited user accounts (i.e. Users Group). Currently they cannot run the
application because writing to Registry was denied.

How do I, as Admin, change the security settings that will allow this
particular application from accessing the Registry and writing to the hard
disk and without giving too much priviliges to these restricted users (e.g. I
don't want them to install applications, etc.)?

How about writing to LocalUser instead of LocalMachine, and use their
personal applicationdata folder for the data?
