Has anyone got this subinACL tool to work? I am running XP Pro SP2 and have followed the instructions to run this to correct my registry.

When I run the reset.cmd I get a bunch of text saying subinacl is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file.

    There have been a lot of postings on the Adobe flash problem and since mine were resolved eventually with the subinACL I will post here.

    I have been trying to get flash 9 to install for some time now. My son is into starwars(.com)... Anyhow, both his user (limited) and mine (Admin) would not work. I happened to be using my wife's user (Admin) the other night and tried it and it worked. So I thought something was wrong with the IE7 settings between the users... (Much time passes) no. Firefox worked in fact on all three users but I needed to install it for each.

    I find a post regarding the reset_min.zip. Basically it uses subinacl to provide admin privileges for the shockwave/flash related registry entries and the macromed system32 folder. After running it my admin user now works but as you might guess my son's does not. I decide to do a find / replace (notepad works) changing all adminstrators to users. Don't save as a text file in notepad. Save as type All Files. I called mine reset_minimal_users.cmd to have a different file from the zipped one (reset_minimal.cmd). I unzipped the files into the Desktop as recommended in the thread and both the original and my new one ran fine from there.

    I don't post ever but I had spent a lot of time on this one and had really gotten nowhere until I ran the reset_minimal.cmd . I hope others can benefit as well from having the limited user support.
