I recently found a problem after upgrading to Windows XP that I could not
install any new software as I continutally get the error:
1606: Could not access network location <Common Administrative
Tools>.AllUsers\
I did search through the site and around and found the solution, which I
have posted below just to have all bases covered. The problem is that
Whenever I run regedit, the window doesn't stay open for more than 5 seconds
or so before automatically closing, and I have to run the command again, but
I don't have enought time to navigate through the folders in order to even
perform the resolution. Any help or info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
