Re: service pack update 2

From "Access Control" help file. section "Changing inherited permissions"

<Q>
If the check boxes are shaded when you view the permissions of an object,
the object has inherited permissions from the parent object. There are three
ways to make changes to inherited permissions:

- Make the changes to the parent object, and then the object will inherit
these permissions.
- Select the opposite permission (Allow or Deny) to override the inherited
permission.
- Clear the Inherit from parent the permission entries that apply to child
objects. Include these with entries explicitly defined here. check box.
Then, you can make changes to the permissions or remove users or groups from
the Permissions list. However, the object will no longer inherit permissions
from the parent object.

On the Advanced page, in Permission entries the Apply To column lists what
folders or subfolders a permission is applied to. The Inherited From column
lists where the permssions have been inherited from.

Ok, that helped somewhat. I got the registry backed up, I found the key that
needs to have the permission changed: setting registry value
HKLM\software\microsoft\internetexplorer\main\featurecontrol\feature_disable_mk_protocol.
As I work through that, I get as far as main. There is nothing that says
feature. However main does show permission settings. Now, I'm the only user,
but it lists four:
Permissions for main
Group or user names:
Administrators(Compaq\Administrators)
Creator Owner
System
Users (compaq users)
When I try to set the permissions for administrators, that area is shaded
and won't let me do anything, but it does show check marks in the full
control and read blocks.

The creator owner name will let me put check marks in the full control and
read blocks, but they disappear when applied.

The system user is the same as administrator, both boxes are checked, but
the area is grayed out and I cannot enter anything.

The users(compaq\users) shows both the full control and read boxes checked
and I can uncheck them.

Anyway, Service 2 pack still gets about half way through and denies access.
I must have tried a half dozen combinations but each download produces the
same result -- access denied. I read the literature at least five times and
very carefully followed each step (or at least I think I did). But the
result
is always the same. Any suggestions???????

Thanks for the reply, but links to microsoft so-called help sites are
useless. First it tells me to modify the registry, but first back-up the
registry. However, the instructions say the back-up program is not
included
so first install the back up program from the utility on the CD, which of
course doesn't come with the computer. Then do something called enabling
verbose logging. Yeah, I am obviously well versed in that subject. Then
all
the directions have me screwing around with all kinds of things in the
registry while continually admonishing me that messing with the registry
could really screw things up and I do so at my own risk.

What seems like it should be a simple task has turned into dozens of
"helpful" articles, each referring to another article which tells you do
something else before doing what the first article said.

So I am right back where I started. Service pack 2 won't load and it
appears
there is no way a person of average intelligence can discern what has to
be
done from the gobbledygook disguised as helpful hints.

I am more and more convinced that Rube Goldberg has been reincarnated, but
if not, microsoft is certainly a top runner for the annual Rube Goldberg
award.
