IE error opening PDF files and Office documents for users only

[Guest]

When logged into computers on my network as a user who is a member of the
"Domain Users" group, this error appears when opening a PDF document or an
Office document:

"Microsoft Internet Explorer
Internet Explorer cannot download File-Name.PDF from www.website-URL.com.
Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The requested
site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later."

I am able to open the files when logged in as a member of the Administrators
group. Even if I am logged in as a Domain User and run IE as an
Administrator, it works to open these files.

So, there has to be some permissions issue with the users, and I think i
have it narrowed down to the users being unable to write to the
"Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\8FKJ0PAD\" folder.

I have confirmed this happening on a Win2000 Server SP4 server with IE
6.0.2800.1106 SP1, AND on a WinXP SP2 PC with
6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2gdr.050301-1519

Any ideas??

So, are you able to download ANY PDF or word or excel documents using IE??

Try these sample links:
http://www.ss.ca.gov/elections/english.pdf
http://www.c-und-d.de/download/05-10-14_Burgund.xls

Do you get the error I mentioned above? If so, this is the same issue I
have, but I can't find a solution for it.

Like I said before, I can open those links just fine when logged in as
Administrator, but not when logged in with a restricted user account.

Anyone else have any ideas????

I just tested this issue with my PC which is NOT part of an Active Directory
Domain to rule that out. It did the same thing!

I'm running XP Pro, I created a test account, and added it only to the Users
group. Logged in as that user and it can not open any PDF or XLS or DOC's
from the Internet using IE.

It's definately not my AD Domain...
