Hello all,
I am having an issue running .exe on my 2003 server. They will run under the
administrator all the time and one other profile but no more. It gives me :
Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have
the appropriate permissions to access the item.
I 'm logging on with domain administrator accounts and they all have full
control of the folder and everything in them. I have three servers that will
let one admin run it and not the other and vice-versa on the others. Has
anyone seen this. I thought it was sp.2 issue, then a sp.1, but it does not
seem to be. If anyone has any clue I would greatly appreciate any help.
Thanks,
David

Start by ruling out profile corruption. Can any Administrator account
run executables? Try clearing a profile and then logging back on to
get a new profile. Does it work now?
Check the path system variable, found under Environment Variables.
Save the current path to a text file. Then, reset it to the default,
reboot, and retest. If the problem continues, restore the path.
Third, verify the Exefile Shell subkey in the registry. It may become
corrupted. If this is not the problem, try backing up your system
state and importing the EXE regfile from www.kellys-korner-xp.com.
Reboot and retest. If the problem continues, restore the system state.
One of these options usually resolves the problem for me. If this does
not help you, please let me know and I will do some research.
