If you create a new user account as a member of the Local Users group, it will have Read permissions on the Windows directories. I think CF may need that, but honestly I'm not sure it does. > The old KB article also says to give the user full control of the registry > key /HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/. > > Is that still necessary? Was it ever? If you were (or presumably are) storing Client variables in the Registry, CF needs to be able to write to a subkey within there. My answer to that is, don't store Client variables in the Registry - it's just a bad idea. http://jochem.vandieten.net/2008/04/06/windows-file-permissions-for-the-coldfusion-account/ Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software http://www.figleaf.com/ http://training.figleaf.com/ Fig Leaf Software is a Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) on GSA Schedule, and provides the highest caliber vendor-authorized instruction at our training centers, online, or onsite. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
