When I try to make some changes in msconfig,i am getting an access
denied error.I am the only user and am the aministrator of my
desktop computer, and am running Windows XP Professional. I am using McAfee
antivirus software and tried scanning the PC and it did not come up with
anything. It says that i need to be an administrator to make these changes in
msconfig, but like I said before, i am the admin and only user. what should i
do?
 
Hi punkfloyd138,

Have a look at this post in which Wesley Vogel has compiled various reasons
(taken from other newsgroup posts) why users might receive the access denied
message:
