I have a user that is assigned User rights to her PC.
When she goes to certain websites she get a bar on the top of the page that
says:

"This might require the following Active X control: Flash Player 8 from
Macromedia Inc Click here to install"

Of course when she clicks install it will fail beause she has User rights to
the PC but if I give her Administrator rights then it will install without a
problem. After Flash Play 8 is installed she does not have a problem until I
take the Administrator rights away.
After I give her User rights and she goes back to the website it will give
her the same message again eventhough Flash Player 8 is already installed.

How can I make it so that the websites that use Flash work correctly when
she has User rights?

Thanks in advance
Greg
