Someone please help...........I have Windows XP Pro and am signed in as Administrator. When I go to My Computer and try to get into Add or Remove Programs it says Access to Add or Remove Programs has been restricted. Contact Program Administrator. What am I doing wrong?
 
Hello
See if this helps. It has worked for me when access was denied by a folder or program and I have the same OS. Go into safe mode and right click on the folder or file you want to access to change or delete and click properties. In safe mode the properties shows a security tab. Press it and give yourself full control of the file. There may be other ways also but this could work for you too. Even though I am the administrator it sometimes doesn't recognize my user name as having full control. And this is how I always got around a problem file or folder. Nick
