Troubleshooting help needed-   Windows NT / Gates/ Standalone computers

We recently installed CybraryN timeout/login software on our Bill and
Melinda Gates computers  and have experienced some problems with the network
setup.  I am hoping someone out there could suggest some possible
olutions  - CybraryN and Gates support were unable to help.

Problem:

After setting up CybraryN for a network* installation, we were able to
successfully use the CybraryN program only when logged in as an
ADMINISTRATOR.  When logged into the "ALL" profile on a Gates pc, the
CybraryN program was not allowed to access the files stored on the remote
server (access denied).

Note:  The remote folder had been shared - "everyone" allowed "Full
Control". The network drive was then mapped to the remote folder - reconnect
at logon was selected.

*Network installation of CybraryN consists of simply changing the default
directory location to a common shared drive on a network

_____________

I would truly appreciate any suggestion!  The problem seems to be file
"permissions," so if you've setup ANY type of software on a Gates PC that
requires remote file access, I'd love to hear from you.

I will post the solution directly to this list (and copy to Gates and
CybraryN technical support) once the problem is solved.
