[OPLINTECH] Windows Steady State issues

[Jim Lack]

I've just implemented Windows Steady State 2.5 on some of our public
computers.  The computers are running Windows XP, service pack 3.  I am
having problems with a number of web sites that want to load add-ons to
IE7.  In the children's department, the Webkinz web site is a good
example.  When a patron tries to log into this site, an add-on Disabled
windows pops up in the lower portion of the screen.  It states, "This
webpage is requesting an add-on that is disabled.  To enable the add-on,
click here.  Now if I log into this computer as an admin, it goes to the
site no problem and does not prompt for the add-on.  The add-on it is
prompting for is a flash player that is already loaded.  I get a similar
message when trying to get to this site thru Firefox.  It tries to let
the user load the add-on but then says the load failed.  This is just
one web site.  Others are Cartoon Network, You Tube, GamePost,
Yahooligans and Miniclip.  We are using Group policy and the Steady
State GP add-in to manage the user and computer.  The user is a part of
the "authenticated users" group on the C drive.  I've added the user to
the local admin group but this has no affect.  What am I missing or is
there a way to tweak the permissions to allow them to download stuff
without giving away too much security?
