Hi all,
How do I allow my restricted(limited) account users to
download files form the internet. At the moment because
they have been setup as limited users, they can have acces
to the internet, even dial it up, but cannot download
files. This is one PC with many user accounts connected
via a modem to local ISP. No firewalls(apart from software
based) are used.
Thanks in advance

Hello Mark,

Your users are likely blocked because their Internet Zone setting for File
Download is set to Disabled.

182569 Description of Internet Explorer Security Zones Registry Entries
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=182569

To set this globally, you need to do the following -

1. As admin, go into IE and setup your Internet Zone the way you would
like it to work for your users. In here you can set the File Download to
enabled or disabled.

2. Run GPEDIT.MSC
3. Go to the following location -

User Configuration >> Windows Settings >> Internet Explorer
Maintenance >> Security >> Security Zones and Content Ratings

4. Then import your settings. This will not be the settings other users
on this system get.

They should be able to download files now.

Best regards,
