Re: Access Denied and Lack of Permission in XP Pro Home Network

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



Chuck,
Thank you for taking the time to send a reply to my initial problem. While
waiting for someone to reply to my questions, I experimented with the answer
frunished by Kipper5 to Grizleybear57 on 10-23-04, regarding the modification
of the "restrictanonymous" value in the Registry to "0". Although I do ot
understand the reason why, it seems to have solved the problem for now. Could
you please take a moment and give me a brief explanation of this result:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
\SYSTEM
\CurrentControlSet
\Control
\Lsa
Value name: RestrictAnonymous
Value type: DWORD

If the value is 1 or even 2, change it to 0, reboot and retest. If the
problem is solved, leave the value at zero. If not, you can change it back if
you like.
