Re: Please Help- Lost Admin Rights...

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Thank you!

(It's odd, my server doesn't always show all the posts.. hence why I
asked... oh, well.. glad you saw it.. glad I followed your inx as well..)

It is very frustrating.. in googling around, I see there are ways to adjust
rights in Windows 2000? but not in XP Home...

If something does come to mind, please let me know.. I really appreciate
your help...
Thank you again...
