Windows Server Forum / Windows 2000 / Security / June 2007Registry Edit
I am having trouble installing IE7. Install failed on not being able to update HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\giffile\shell\ddeexec\topic. However, using REGEDIT via ANY account on the computer including the Administration Account I cannot change the security on this object. Cannot view with any account. O/S XP SP2 up to date with all patches [except IE7!!!!] Would like to try the SYSTEM Account but do not know how to get into it! Help!

How do I let XP know that?

I am the computer owner. How do I let XP know that? No, that would not be different in this case. But still any account with admin rights might not have permissions to a registry key, it may be necessary to take ownership first and then change permissions. This happens regardless of wether you are using the built-in Administrator account or another account with admin privileges. SignatureOlof Lagerkvist ICQ: 724451 Web: http://here.is/olof |
