Access Denied errors

I am getting Access denied errors everytime I try to make changes or even stop a service in XP. I am using the Admin profile too. Even if I make changes to the system startup in msconfig, i get an access denied, some changes were not made.

Hi,

Is this account part of a Domain or is it a local admin account?

Thanks,
run that

and tell us what you are getting

If it is domain pc you will have to add your login to local admin group
you could also try that

cacls c:\windows /e /t /g administrator:F


/e is to 'edit' the acl, rather than replace it
/t states to apply the changes to all subfolders
/g what user
:F full access

Users group by default has access to HKCU (Current User) - to grant access to HKLM (Local Machine), they'll need to be local administrators, or you'll need to grant them access through the registry (right click the HKLM hive and choose permissions to grant access)

Havent had any rootkit infections lately, have ya? The recent onws strip permissions on the directories that some services reside in. Also, the hklm/system/ccs/services/servicename keys...check them both....
try this

start > run > cmd > type: gpresult /r

confirm what GPO has been applied on your PC. and check what they do
no other machine has this issue and there is only the default gpo
@noralain i think you meant /v   there is no /r switch on gpresult in windows XP it starts with vista

/r  (rsop summary data)

/v (verbose = detailed output)
We have not heard from you in awhile. Did any comment help you solve your problem? Do you have any more questions? If an Expert helped you, please accept his/her answer above with an excellent or good grade.

no,
It is no GPO. There is only the default GPO and it is not in effect.
