Edit button disabled in Internet Explorer

[tcantebury]

Hi,

I'm troubleshooting a problem with FrontPage 2003 and Windows XP
(Service Pack 2). In short, we have a user whose profile has been
locked down pretty tightly; the problem is, the Edit button in IE stays
grayed out, no matter what we do. I know that FrontPage is set up
properly as the HTML editor on the system -- everything works fine when
I log in as a less-restricted user, and she can open FrontPage manually
to edit the site as well.

Here's what I'm wondering:

1) What exactly governs whether the edit button can be used in IE?
2) Is there any way to get this to work without granting extra
permissions?

I have a hunch right now that the problem is that she isn't allowed to
use the Run dialog -- this also makes prevents her from opening HTML
documents saved locally -- but I can't find much in the way of docs on
Microsoft's Web site.

Thanks for any help you can give!

If you change the user's profile to power user or administrator, does it
change?
