Denied access to Desktop Icon

[Guest]

When I attempt to execute a program using a Desktop Icon, I get the
following error message. "Windows cannot access the specific device, path,or
file. You may not have the appropriate permssions to access the item."

Your assistance and considerations would be very much appreciated.

Is this a home machine or part of a Domain? What is the Program that you
are trying to run? Can you right click on the Icon and choose properties -
to see where it is pointing to?

Suggestion, without knowing more:

EXE and LNK Fix for Windows XP - Line 12

To use the Regedit: Save the REG File to your hard disk. Double click it
and answer yes to the import prompt. REG files can be viewed in Notepad by
right clicking on the file and selecting Edit.

Good luck and keep us posted!
