Hello XP world:
Since recently when I try to go to the Administrative Tools, after clicking
Computer Management I get a message saying "Windows cannot open file
compmgmt.msc because it doesn't know what program created it.
I'm running XP Home with SP1 and SP2 installed a few days ago, but I have
no idea if this a problem since SP2 or not.
JUst don't know what to do.
Thanks for any help
 
Hi,

See if the .MSC file association fix helps:
