View Full Version : Getting locked out of many files

I'm having some problems with the messenger popups, etc.
and need to change some settings in the control panel, or
check in the device manager. I cannot access any of
these diagnostic files and folders. When I try to get
into services.msc to deactivate the messenger, for
exampl, I get this message:

"Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or
file. You may not have the appropriate permission to
access the item."

Can someone help me get things set up so that I can have
access to all the files? There is no network, just a
home pc running Windows XP.

thanks for any suggestions,
