User Rights

[aleph]

Anyone know how to give a user account permissions to run
an application without giving them rights to freely
install software?

Quickbooks complains of not having high enough user
rights, asks for a standard user account (which is what it
is), Power User and Admin can run it without a problem.
This is going in a classroom, I'm just trying to prevent
students from installing random apps that need cleaning
every other day.

Any suggestions or insight would be greatly appreciated.
TIA.

You do not have sufficient permissions for the area of the registry in which
QuickBooks stores the installation key code.

Start Regedt32.exe.
Navigate to the folloowing registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Intuit\QuickBooksRegistration
On the Security menu, press Permissions.
Clear the Allow inheritable permissions from parent to propagate to this object
check box.
Press Advanced.
Select the group that contains the users who experiencing the error message, and
then press Edit on the View menu.
Verify that the following permissions are selected under Allow:
Query Value
Set Value
Create Subkey
Enumerate Subkeys
Notify
Create Link
Read Control

Select the Apply these permissions to objects and/or containers within this
container only check box.
Press OK to close the Permission Entry for QuickBooksRegistration dialog box.
Press OK to close the Access Control Settings for QuickBooksRegistration dialog
box.
Press OK to close the Permissions for QuickBooksRegistration dialog box.
Close the Registry Editor.
