Msconfig Error Message

[Guest]

Everytime I use Msconfig to remove an item from startup menu - after I click
apply - receive message that I am not the administrator - I am the only
person that used this computer - After a reboot - items are removed from
Msconfig. Not quiet sure what the problem is. Thanks for any help.

The items were successfully removed, correct ?
It's either a 'bug', an indication that some security descriptors are
out of whack, or an indication that the User Profile is becoming corrupted.
Try creating another User Profile with Admin rights and see if the
message pops up again.
That should enable you to rule out some of the possible reasons for that
message <w>

That's not the exact and full message, most likely.

I am the only person that used this computer - After a reboot - items
are removed from Msconfig. Not quiet sure what the problem is.

This problem has been often reported and seems to be caused by poor
software, eg. McAfee or ZoneAlarm. See also

Yes the items were removed - As one of the posts mentioned something about
McAfee - I am using that software. Thanks for the replies.
