The solution we seem to be leaning toward is to have our customers place the 
website that serves the OCX in their "Trusted Sites" zone.  This works and 
doesn't nag the user when they are navigating the site unprotected.

What I have been investigating is how to make the OCX become a "broker shim" 
(I think that's how to say it).  This way whenever it's launched by a user 
account the OCX will be able to have medium access rights and write to the 
user's appdata directory.  My initial tests of this method have not been 
successful.  Using the admin account I added a key to:

  HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Low Rights\ElevationPolicy

The key was named with the CLSID of my ActiveX control and I added the 
following two values:

  CLSID [REG_SZ] = my activex control's CLSID
  Policy [REG_DWORD] = 2

This will probably be the final post I have in this thread unless I get this 
working (or someone else gives their 2 cents).
