Built-In Users group can't use Photoeditor

[Paul Kraemer]

Hi,

I have a PC running Win2k pro. I have created a user and
put her in the built-In "Users" group. She is unable to
view image files with Microsoft Photo-Editor. When she
tries, she gets a series of the following errors - "No
file format information can be found in the
Registry", "Unknown File Format", and "PhotoEditor
cannot find or open C:\temp\filename.jpg".

I think this is a security issue, because if I log on as
an administrator, I have no problem looking at images in
PhotoEditor. I'd like to limit the rights of the "Users"
group as much as possible for security purposes, but I do
want my "Users" to be able to look at images in
PhotoEditor. Can anyone tell me what I have to do to
give them this right?

Thanks,
Paul

Hi Paul.

I cheated and did a Google search and never actually had the problem myself
so I hope the link below helps. --- Steve
