I need to assign permission to a specific program for an user group. This
program needs create icon on taskbar. Since I locked the taskbar, the program
not working, getting error msg "cant open file abc.ico". Im launching this
program from Startup.

Thanks

Sri,

Hmm, its looks as though your problem might be easier than that. Are you
sure you're linking to the executable. The error message seems to imply
that you're trying to open the .ico file.

Also, if you really need to control who runs a program, I would do this with
either file permissions or through the policy that denies running specific
applications.
 
Ryan,

Yes im linking to a excutable, and this program has icon funtion something
like mail notification. The only way to control this program is from that
icon only.

Yes, in a way you got my point that I need to set file permissions. But How
do I set a permission to this program. I would like to know, is there anyway
to run a program with different user permissions?

Thanks

Sri,

Yes, you can run a program as another user using the RUNAS command. The
problem with that is that it will ask for the password for that user on each
execution. There is a tool out there call sanur.exe that allows you to
specify an account and password removing that limitation.
