Well, I have to say I'm puzzled, because if this is entirely web-based, the
permissions can't just have something to do with the permissions on
iexplore.exe. Perhaps you need to adjust the permissons on
files/folders/registry settings on the workstation to see how to allow
normal users to run this app. FileMon and RegMon from www.sysinternals.com
should help.

I know of no native way to get run as to cache the credentials other than
using, say, a batch file, and they wouldn't be transparent to the user, and
users shouldn't need admin rights to run properly written apps anyway - if
the app doesn't allow it, modify the places it insists on writing to.
