| We currently have many Windows 2000 Pro PCs on our network that we are trying to remotely upgrade to Windows 
XP Pro.  Before the upgrade everything works properly in Windows 2000, but after the upgrade we are unable to 
use "Connect Network Registry" to connect to the PCs registry remotely.  We can connect to the PC via Remote 
Desktop Connection and edit the registry that way, but there are times when we need to make a change remotely 
with the user still logged in.  We do not have this problem when we do a clean install of XP, so I am guessing 
that this is caused by some setting that is not properly migrated to XP.  I have searched many places and am 
unable to locate a fix for this issue.  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
