I know this is a little off topic but I've been trying to figure this out for awhile. I've been trying to get ICQ working on our network. But it won't run with users who are not Administrators. Basically whenever they run the program all that happens is the splash screen shows up and nothing happens. Now this isn't a problem for anyone with Admin rights, cause the program runs correctly for them. Now I contacted ICQ and they told me this:
1. From the profile you used when you first installed ICQ, run the registry editor (Regedit.exe). 2. Locate the root "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mirabilis\ICQ" 3. Click the ICQ key, and choose Registry -> Export Registry File 4. Under "Export Range", make sure the option "Selected Branch" is selected, and in the space under it, the correct path is showing (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mirabilis\ICQ) 5. Choose a file name, and save it on your hard disk. Note the location you are saving the file to. It is best not to save the file on your desktop, since the desktop change between profiles. 6. Log out from the computer and log in with the other profile. 7. Locate the registry file your exported and run it. 8. Windows will ask you if you wish to import the registry settings. Choose "Yes" and confirm. 9. Locate the ICQ.exe file from the installed directory (usually in C:\program files\ICQ\) , then right-click the file and choose "Copy". 10. Minimize all windows 11. Right-click your desktop and choose "Paste Shortcut". Ok I tried that and it didn't work. Does anyone have a suggestion on what I could do to get these users working with ICQ without having to add them to the Admin Group (which I'm not going to do) Is there some type of GPO setting I can change that would get them working?
