"admin" could not make entries in registry ...
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! Polaris |

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 "Polaris" wrote in message ...

Why are you posting XP questions in the Windows 2000 newsgroup?
Check permission settings of the keys you are trying to read/write, but my guess is that its more operating system permissions Crouchie1998 BA (HONS) MCP MCSE P.S. Is Polaris, Polish? |

Thanks guys. We checked and the admin does have "Full" control permission as
indicated by regedit.exe. We have just found out that theSpySweeper is the cause. Once the SpySweeper is killed, everything is fine. Take care and thanks for your input. Polaris (name of a star...)
