Unable to access Control Panel, window opens then closes automatically

[Edward Ray]

Seems to be a bug. Administrative Tools opens fine, and their are no GPO
settings that I know of which would prevent the Control Panel window from
opening. Vista RC1 running in a windows 2003 R2 native active directory
domain.

Curious, as that doesn't happen in a workgroup environment. Does it still
occur when you log onto the local machine as admin?

Yes it does. Accessing Admin tools works fine.

I've seen malware do that in XP, but never Vista -- YET, anyway.

Hmm, 'twould seem to be an AD issue then, you might want to recheck the
group policies. They may have a different affect in Vista than they do in
Win2K/XP.

Just another thought...as it initially opens, then closes right off, one
would think the user account has appropriate permissions, therefore it may
not be an AD problem, rather this could be symptomatic of a virus or other
malware on the system.
