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

Error message states This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in
effect on this computer. Searched Microsoft and was referred to KB 270037,
which did't help one bit. Currently using XP Pro SP2. Reset IE 7 to no
avail. Changed and added another user with admin rights, second user works
fine but, I still have problem with initial user account that also has admin
privledges. Desktop came with XP Pro and Office Pro pre loaded. Any help
would be greatly appreciated.

If the problem is not there with a new account, why fight it? Copy the data and settings from the new account to the old, if things work ok, delete the old account.

And if you really want the old account name, then create a new account with that name, if the problem is not there, copy the settings from the second account to the third and test. Still a go, then delete the second account.
