SQL Enterprise Manager.msc opens only for local administrator

In SQL 2000 Enterprise Manager will not open for me when I'm logged on to the server using my domain account. I get the warning " MMC cannot open the file e:\program files\microsoft sql server\80\tools\binn\sql server enterprise manager.msc
This may be because the file does not exist, is not an MMC console, or was created by a later version of MMC. This may also be because you do not have sufficient access rights to the file."
I have sdded my domain account with full control permissions to the file.

 If I use the runas command on the SQL Server Enterprise Manager.MSC, it will open using the local administrator account.
Thanks,
