Picture Manager photo editing requires admin rights?

[Thomas]

Several uses at our company can't edit pictures using Photo Manager unless
they are in the Administrator group. As a Local Admin, everything works
great but once the employee is moved to the Power Users group, none of the
editing controls work.

Anyone know if there are some registry keys that can be changed to alter
this behavior?

Hi Thomas,

Is the computer name the same as the user name?
Folks have reported that may be a problem with Picture Manager.

Thank you for your quick response.

Yes, the usernames and computer names are the same. We'll try changing
computer names. Too bad that MS doesn't have a fix for this behavior. I was
hoping for some registry key change that would bypass this bug but perhaps
I'll have to settle for the low-tech approach.

Hey! I also have this problem! Microsoft should fix that, I'm gonna write
that to mswish.

Our company policy is for computer names and user names to match!
