Windows XP Pro Administrator privileges

[Homerr]

Been fighting with my server all day re-installing XP Pro.<br /><br />If you have problems installing anything in XP, make sure you have ADMINISTRATOR rights, or you're logged in as one.<br /><br />I was logged in as admin, and it still wouldn't let me load programs. For some reason, the admin rights were disabled in the registry.<br /><br />I still think a large caliber weapon would have did a better job on the problem, but...<br /><br />H.

tell me about it. I put in Win XP home, and now every time I boot up, the damn thing tries to dial my ISP. I have done everything I could think of to disable it and nothing works. I'll be working on one of the other programs and all of a sudden it is trying to log me in to the internet. I'm about ready to uninstall XP and go back to ME.

Re: Windows XP Pro Administrator privileges

I had the same problem. I fixed and have forgotten how. I will try to remember and poke around to find the fix. In the meantime, maybe Hotbyte, or Duckcommander knows and will post a fix. Can someone look in their startup folder and list what is there. <br /><br />1. Click Start<br />2. Programs<br />3. Startup<br /><br />List what is in there.<br /><br />Also<br />1. Click my computer<br />2. Click on the C: drive<br />3. Click documents and settings<br />In there you will see a few folders. ONe is listed with the login name you have and another is All Users. List what is in these folders.
