    Hi ..

    Win2k Server with all latest patches and Terminal Services installed.

    We have a custom built application that we got from a third-party that is
    causing problems through terminal services. Through my login the program
    works w/o problems but I am an administrator and do not wish to have to
    assign admin rights to every user who may need to access the stuff remotely.

    Can anyone give me an indication as to what rights one may need for:

    1) Opening and closing files from a folder on the server (I gave the
    respective users full rights on these folders, but the problems still crop
    up)
    2) Creating/loading/using ActiveX Controls and COM servers.

    I am not sure if there is any registry tomfoolery in it - what is the best
    way to discover if the program uses the registry? (I'm slightly new at this;
    I realise this is a newbie question, so go easy on me)

    Oh, FYI, the problems I refer to are all ActiveX related and refer to the
    fact that some controls cannot be loaded and/or created properly.

    Thanks

    Antoine
