control panel applets access deniedWin2k Pro SP4, with all reccomended hotfixes applied.
Under Control Panel, some options show a message "Access to specified device, path, or file is denied." The command line equivalents ( control xxxx.cpl ) show same thing. All the required exes, dlls and cpls are there, and I think they are not hacked. No virus ( AVG ), no spyware ( spybot + spywareblaster + kerio ). The machine is networked and there is a SBS 2003 domain controller in the LAN. Same results happens for any user: the local Administrator, and two other with administration privileges. I think it's consequence of some registry values lost/modified. But no idea of which and the values. Any help is welcome. Have you checked this MS KB ?

I havent come across this before but here are some suggestions: 1. Check the ntfs permissions on one if the *.cpl files. Assign Everyone Full Control. 2. Check if you have local GPO settings enabled. 3. Check if you get the same behaviour if you log in as a different user or log in locally. 4. Try running from commandline: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=192806&sd=RMVP Do you have TweakIU installed?

I need to add to my previous posting ( this same day ). I tried the command line mode. Both using the full sintax ( rundll32 shell32,... etc ) and the abbreviated one ( control .... ). The result is the same, even if the message is only 'Access denied'. But an important thing to note is there is an exception: The appwiz.cpl is working ok !!! TIA again, and for your patience Marcelo Show quoteHide quote "=?Utf-8?B?VG9ueSBNYXJ6aWFubw==?=" <TonyMarzi***@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:<1F0F5813-3732-4A37-BA8F-32824CC9244D@microsoft.com>... > Marcelo > I havent come across this before but here are some suggestions: > 1.

Isolate a control applet thats not loading, if you have another machine that doesnt display the same error, try exporting the registry key and import it. Then run regedt32 and check the permissions on the registry key that stores values for the control applet and ensure everyone full control. It could be a combination of registry corruption and permissions to the reg key. Let me know if that helps. ps. If you dont have another machine, let me have your email and I will send it to you.
