wich programs are they?
I've delt with a lot of them and for some I have an answer

for others I use regmon and/or filemon
with these tools I can log wich files and registry keys are being
written to

it's ussually the write operations on a certain registry branch or keys
that are the culprit
then you can set security permissions to allow users write access

We are a pharmaceutical laboratory and we have installed some programs for
our analysis. I agree with you: it`s something related to writing to the
registry. I don`t know exactly what are the programs.....Chemstore from
Agilent is one of them, I think. How can I set these securiry permissions for
the users?? What are these...regmon, filemon??

they are freeware tools from sys internals
the one keeps an eye on all accessed files (duh)
and offcourse the other does the same for the registry (double duh)

they are very easy in use and provide an insight very fast
filtering on process is the key

I think it's www.sysinternals.com
otherwise google it ;-)

Thanks for the info!!
Well, OK, I have the registry keys and files accessed....but how can I set
permissions to the users without making them local administrators??

you have to log on as an administrator on the workstation
and then start up regedt32 (if I'm remembering right)
then you can set permissions on a key or on a branch

for files use the security tab in NTFS
