Client32 issue - 4.91-SP5 and executables

Running an old NW 5.1 server here (using traditional volumes), just
setting up a new XP-SP3 workstation running 4.91-SP5. (latest client
I've used prior to this was -SP4 with some post-SP4 patches)
Having a problem with non-admin users not being able to launch
executables from network volumes. It seems that this may have to do
with Microsoft's XP SP2+ feature called "Attachment Execution
Services" or AES. It's the thing that pops up the "Open File -
Security Warning" dialog when you try to run .EXEs etc. from a
network share. I get that popup when I try to launch .EXE's from the
new workstation as admin, but I can still run the executable. But
when logged-in as power-user (and presumably regular user) I get a
message that says I don't have adequate rights to launch the file.
Here's a discussion where someone found a conflict between Client32
and the MS client: http://tinyurl.com/clp7ps
So I've tried turning off the UNC path filter in Client32 properties,
unbinding MS client and file/printer sharing in network connection
properties, adding "file://SERVERNAME/ VOLUMENAME" to "Trusted Sites"
in IE, and applying the 491psp5_nwfs_3 patch to the client. None of
those worked.
I verified that the Netware client is first in the network provider
order.
Perhaps I have to uninstall the MS client entirely, but of course
that causes me other problems.
Ideas?
