Hello,
I am using special terminal emulation software called "Infoconnect 32-bit"
from Attachmate on my Windows XP. When this program is launched with
administrative rights everything works fine, but if you try to run it from
limited user it just does not work correctly. It does not show any error
messages but on startup it does not create session as it does when you
launch it from administrator account. I think the problem is not with the
software but imho there are some Windows XP features disabled in limited
user account and that is why the program runs incorrectly. The question: is
it possible to track system activity when I start the program? I mean to
track all registry keys used, files opened and etc. I think this might help
me to trace the features that the software tries to access and it is not
allowed to. Maybe someone has a better suggestion ? Any advices appreciated
! Thanks in advance !

Hi

From a previous post of mine:

<quote>
One way is to use Sysinternals RegMon/FileMon utilities to find what registry
keys/file system folders the application need write access to and set rights
accordingly for the locked down user account ( http://www.sysinternals.com )

Here is another one:

I haven't run the utility in the link below myself, but it looks
interesting as a problem solving tool in some situations, e.g. like
the one you have:


Windows Application Verifier has settings that will
tell you what files/reg keys/etc. the app accesses.

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/appcompatibility/appverifier.mspx

The AppVerifier works by monitoring an application's use of the
operating system, including the file system, registry, memory, and
APIs, while the application is being run.
