IE, and Rights to temporary internet files?

Hello.

I have the following scenarios when I have problems with IE:

1: Running as a normal user
It is possible for the user to surf on normal sites. But some functions doesn't work as this example:
Lund - Lunds kommun
This page displays correctly, but when trying to click any of the links that will popup a new window, with the PDF inside it, it's just a blank page.
If I instead right click on the link and choose Save Target As.. It works just fine to save the pdf file (on the desktop for example), and open the PDF.

Surfing to the following page should enable you to view some instruction videos
Google SketchUp
It just shows a red x, like there is no image for the page to display, where the video is supposed to be.

If I open the Temporary Internet Files, according to this description, I only find one single file - a cookie.

2: Run As Administrator
If I instead right click on IE and choose Run As Administrator, everything works just fine. I can open the PDF files in new windows, and I can watch the instruction videos. I also have many temporary internet files.

3: Run as Domain\Administrator.
When I log on the computer as this user, I don't have to choose Run As Administrator. Everything works fine, without having to "run as administrator"

4: Run as a Domain Admin
If my user is a member of the domain admin group, it still doesn't work. No difference to running as a normal user.

5: Run as the local administrator
If I run as the local user I installed the computer as, IE works just fine.

Do you have any hints on what I can do to solve this? I don't want the users to run IE as administrator.

Open With - Add Program[11]=Programs%20Features
Default Programs - Program Default Associations[11]=Programs%20Features
Internet Explorer Pop-up Blocker[11]=Networking%20Internet
Above are 3 tutorials that may help.

I belive that you have not got the explorer add-ons enabled for this user.

Also look at UAC to see if this has any effect.

Hello. I tried your 3 hints, and they didn't help.

I also deactivated UAC to try that out. Then the user has no problems what so ever.

What do I need to change on the user, so that I can run IE with UAC on?

I checked the permissions on
%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Low\Content.IE5
and the user has full control on that folder, just as system and administrators.
I did the same for tll the other folders found here:
The Temporary Internet Files Folder In Vista.

I changed permissions on the folders, to everyone: full control. Still no change.

What finally solved it was to diable UAC for the user, reboot, just surf to the home page, enable UAC again, reboot, and restart again.

Very strange!
