ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Are you logged in with Administrator rights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panarchy Posted February 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Nope! But I have access to the admin account, I just want to access from this account! So can you please tell me, like the registry key to edit or whatever? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cozofdeath Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 You could try navigating to this key...HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run...then right clicking it to check permissions on it and make sure your user account has some control of it. Is it just the Startup tab in msconfig that gives the access denied message?Two other good tools to use when doing the things you are is...1. Process Monitor - can be used to check what files and registry keys (among other things) are being access at a given time and by what. This is a very brief summary of what this powerful troubleshooting tool can do. Its very interesting and useful. It will help you find what registry keys you need to change to get access to certain things.2. Opening a command prompt and typing "at 13:00 /interactive cmd.exe". You must have access to the task scheduler to do this. The AT command is used to schedule tasks from the command prompt, the 13:00 is the time for the task to run, the /interactive tells the program to be executed (cmd.exe) to not run in the background. When the command prompt opens or registry editor or whatever it will be running in the System account. In this account you should be able to access what ever you want. Of course this is useless if you have the administrator account password. This is a good reason admins lock the task scheduler. 3. gpedit.msc/mmc.exe - Used to change policy settings and other configuration settings.

Panarchy Posted March 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Cpl is an extension for control panel applets. Like a picture has the .jpg extension or .bmp, etc. If the other comments don't work try going to Start, select run and type...mshta.exe "res://C:\WINDOWS\system32\nusrmgr.cpl/nusrmgr.hta"Or type nusrmgr.cpl and press enter.If the User Accounts is totally missing from the control panel and you want it back. Open the registry editor (regedit.exe) and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\don't load and make sure the value "nusrmgr.cpl" isn't in the don't load key. If your not sure what the values are in there post them or enter them in a run box or command prompt to find out. Values in this key do not even attempt to load with control.exe (the control panel.)My user isn't listed there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cozofdeath Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Is the user in this registry key...HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserListIf so make sure there is a value of 1 next to the users name.
