I have SS installed on my lap top (Windows XP Professional SP3, all updates), as other people in the family use it, and I need to restrict Internet access.
I tried to open regedit.exe today, for the first time in ages, and got a message saying "Registry editing has been disabled by your administrator." As far as I remember, I have been able to run regedit.exe before.
Problem is, I am the administrator! When I installed XP, it asked me for a user name and password, which I entered, and it gave that account administrator rights. I hav since set up other accounts, but none of them are adminstrators.
If I go into SS and try to change my account type, it tells me that I can't change it as there has to be at least one administrator account on the machine. This implies to me that my account is the only administrator. Thus, I am baffled why I can't run regedit.exe
if I am the only administrator.
Thanks for any help you can give.
