Hi,

Suddenly I cannot access anything via the MMC. I can't
access Device Manager or run the servives.msc etc. at all.
I just get the MMC cannot open file [filename] due to it
not being there, access priviledges etc.
The files do exist, I haven't changed my access
priviledges (still computer Admin)

What has happened and how can I rectify it ?
I searched the KB and came up with nothing :-/

Thanks
Scott
 
Click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT Go to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\MMC

Look in the right pane for a value called RestrictToPermittedSnapins If it
exists, it should be set to 0 (zero). If it isn't, double click the
RestrictToPermittedSnapins value and change it. If it doesn't exist, right
click in a blank area of the right pane, select New, DWord value, and name
it RestrictToPermittedSnapins. Leave it at 0.

If the MMC subkey does not exist, right click on the Microsoft subkey and
select New, Key and name it MMC.
