Using ShellExecute

[SteveE]

I've written a program that uses shellexecute to open "PDF" files in IE
The "PDF" files are on our local network.

One of the two XP machines on the network has no problem opening th
files when logged in as a limited user. However the second machin
cannot open the files whne logged in as a limited user, but can whe
assigned administrative rights.

If logged on as a limited user, I can type the address:
http://mfg/cat/test/test.pdf
and the file will open. Trying to open the same page usin
shellexecute fails.

I believe there is a security setting preventing shellexecte fro
running.

HELP
