Make sure you are logged on as a member of the administrators group by using
the " net user username " command to view group membership for a username
or use " net localgroup administrators " to view membership of the local
administrators group. The other thing to verifiy is that administrators have
full control to \windows folder and subfolders. Look in Event Viewer to see
if there are any errors/warnings that may indicate what the problem is. See
the link below if nothing seems to work. It works on XP and W2K and should
on Windows 2003. You could use the secedit command as described and append
"areas /user_rights" to the end to restore only user rights. --- Steve
