Access Denied

[Guest]

I use Windows 2000 Professional and as administrator should have absolute
access. I can load ordinary software with no problem. However, when loading
anything that affects Windows 2000 such as Server Pack 4 I get an 'Access
Denied' message.Also I notice that I cannot change 'File Types' which is
greyed out.Can anyone tell me what is wrong and how to put it right??

Permissions may be damaged. This article may help.

How to Restore the Default NTFS Permissions for Windows 2000

The article is a little deceptive. At step 7 create a new database.
