Check to make sure that administrators and system has read and full control
permissions to those keys. Maybe they were locked down as a precaution
against malware. --- Steve

Hi:

It happens to a few Windows XP users: the user is an admin, but could not
manually make new entries under to registry keys below (using
regedit.exe):

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run Once, and
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run Once

Scanned for virus but it made no difference. Any thought is appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
