Thanks Steve. What you say makes complete sense, and is unfortunately
the conclusion I was coming to myself. Although, I still can't see why
giving all the users Administrator rights suddenly solves the problem,
as I'm still trying to apply local policies to what is effectively a
non-local user. If I could establish which one of the administrator
priveleges allows this, I may be able to add it to the Users
priveleges. It'll at least stop be having to set everyone up as an
Administrator. Maybe it'll work.

Cheers,

Kris
