Re: MMC

Hi Wes. Thanks for responding.
The correct one is opened by right clicking on my computer and selecting
manage. This one does not have author privileges. The problem one without
the tree opens if I right click on the services.msc file and select author.
There are two services.msc files, one in system32 and the other I saved in
my documents so as to differentiate them. That seems to mean that I can't
save the one I want, and selecting author brings up the one I don't want.
The wrong one retains its author privileges through a restart. I am scared
to delete anything in case I end up with no services management.
