Restricting local admin access for particular application folder

4 New Member
Hi,
I have an issue where users require local administrator access on the pc to be able to run a particular program. However I do not want these users to have local admin access on their pc's.

I know the particular folders on the C:\ drive that they need local admin access to to be able to run the program. Is it possible to allow the users to only have local admin access on this particular folder without having local admin rights to the rest of the pc? If this is possible - how is it implemented?

Any help welcome.
Thanks,
ckc

I think that it is possible and that the info should be near here.

Thanks for the reply. This would work but I dont want the users to know the admin passwords for the machine. Effectively I dont want the user to be an administrator on the machine but still want them to be able to use this particular application as an administrator without having to enter any admin account details. I hope this is making sense? I have an idea this is possible through group policy in AD but I dont have access to play around with that area unfortunately.

I don't know what AD is, but perhaps this will help:
To run the Group Policy Editor, see How To Use the Group Policy Editor to Manage Local Computer Policy in Windows XP.
In that editor, go to Local Computer Policy->User Configuration->Administrati ve Templates->System.

This works on the network as well as on local machines.

Hi all, I'm a Win2000 professional user - sP 4. I can't delete some folders in e:\inetpub\wwwroot\...\. I've created them by FrontPage2000 SR1. I enter Windows as Administrator, then I should be able to create /delete all objects. On the contrary, each time I attempt to erase the assigned folder Windows warns me so: "Access is denied. The source file may be in use."

Ok, so maybe this is way off the wall...and I realize this is more of a MS Windows question than an Access question, but here goes... Is there a way to grant an Access application itself admin rights when the user is not a local admin on the client machine? An issue comes up when using Outlook automation that if the user is not the local admin then the automation code fails. Thanks, lq

I have a problem and I've been using a cheezy work around and was wondering if anyone else out there has a better solution. The problem: Let's say I have a web application appA. Locally, I set it up as C:\domains\appA. Locally, my IIS root points to C:\domains. I don't point it to C:\domains\appA since if I have an appB under C:\domains I wouldn't be able to get to it. So to access it via my browser I go to localhost/appA.
