Guest SteveW Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 Hi, I have a user on an NT domain (XP SP2 client) who can't execute any files located on any network shares. She can create files and delete files in those shares, but not run any executables. The error message is "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." The shares are mostly on 2003 member servers. I even tried giving her Domain Admin rights but that made no difference! I also noted that when she logs on to a PC with Office 2003 installed, the installation wizard runs, but doesn't show any options or dialog boxes, ie it runs in the background. I would like for her to be able to run an application installed on the network. Any help is gratefully received. Thanks, SW
Guest Marcin Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 Re: can't execute files over network Do you have IE 7 enhanced security installed/enabled on the XP SP2 client? Are all UNC network paths included in the Local Intranet IE zone? hth Marcin

I think it's a profile corruption issue, I'm going to try deleting the profile and build a new one. The other users who run the same app don't have any problems like this. Best Regards and thanks for your help, Steve
