system congfiguration - access denied

R

Roadkill

I have now finally completed the SP3 install and wanted to change the system
configuration to eliminate some programs from the start up! But when I go to
start>run>type in msconfig> - and attempt to change the startup tab - it
tells me Access is Denied -

How can I change that - this is a home computer!

Assuming this behavior only started after you'd installed WinXP SP3:

Free unlimited installation and compatibility support is available for
Windows XP, but only for Service Pack 3 (SP3), until 14 Apr-09. Chat and
e-mail support is available only in the United States and Canada. Go to
http://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?gprid=1173 | select "Windows
XP" then select "Windows XP Service Pack 3"
