Admin or not admin?

[Bilko]

Hello,

I had a problem with the display (couldn't use jpg as
wallpaper) then i found a way to solve this problem. You
can read this solution hereafter.

Well, now i can't access to the display propertie, i get
this message: "The display properties panel has been
deactivated by your system administrator" (i translate
what i can read in French). I can't do anyting in the
registry neither: "The registry modification has been
deactivated by your administrator"

Huh??? I AM the administrator.

When i log in with my wife account, which is an admin
account too, there is no problem. I tried to change my
account's privileges from admin to user then back to
admin but it doesn't work.

Anyone has an idea?

Here is what i did:

"I have found the solution to this very annoying problem!
It seems that
some adware was installed onto my system through Active X
controls.
Search for xplugin.dll on your hard drive or do a Google
search to
learn more.

You need to unregister this using the following statement
in run:

regsvr32 /u C:\WINDOWS\System32\xplugin.dll

Reboot and voila! Back to normal!"

Thank you very much.
It works great.

I'll take a closer look at this utility, it looks very
useful.

You're welcome And its very handy if you need to keep user's from
messing with the options. Version 2 is on its way with a revised interface
and more options.
