Program denied permission to shell

[zehd]

This is a general question.

Can anyone think of ways that Windows (non-Vista) would deny access to a program from shelling a batch file?

The program is running in the desktop session, manually (double-clicking) and not accessing a network (not passing through a firewall)

For Details: I can't get this to happen for myself.. A user is using ZSchedFix. The first function is to create a batch file...

THen it shells that batch file. In reality it doesn't matter what's in the batch file. The batch won't even run (to succeed or fail)...

any help would be appreciated

Are you using an administrative/power user account?

That's something I thought about. But how does GB-PVR shell batch files, if it's not in admin?

I don't know if my user is in admin

Is there something that a programmer can do to add a program to the list of allowed software so that it will work even in a Limited account.

This is new territory for me, because I have always assumed my software will run in an admin session...

Not sure, sorry. That would be new territory for me as well. If I get a chance, I'll do some digging and see what I can find.
