need be an administrator rights to access ... check of user profiles says i have administrative rights
I am running win xp pro sp3. Since install i have used this profile to admin my pc. It is not the default admin account but a created one. When in ie8 i cant access internet options from the menu or command buttons. Getting a message "This operation has been canceled due to restrctions in effect on this computer. Please contact your ..." you guessed it "...system administrator." Funny thing is i can still open internet options from control panel. Recently noticed i cant auto update with my account. I have gone back as far as restore would allow with no resolve. I can assure that I haven't played with any security settings in MMC. I have already learned that lesson. Sure i can "run as ..." but then why have an admin acct any ways. Short of deleteing and creating a new admin user. I would much rather (first) understand what went wrong. Thanks in advance for any help and info. 1 person needs an answerI do too
