running really slowly. To fix that, I tried to install a program called Advanced Windows Care (AWC). That program had been superseded by Advanced SystemCare, but for some reason (price or performance, I dimly recalled, but I wasn't sure which), I had decided not to take the upgrade. I was trying to install AWC as part of a new Windows XP installation. When I tried to install it, I got an error message: You must be logged in as an administrator when installing this program.But I was! I went into Start > Run > control userpasswords2 and observed that my username, Ray Woodcock, was a member of the Administrators group, just like https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/316524 the Administrator itself. But according to Philip's SpeedGuide, writing on another issue, being in the Administrators group was not the same as being an (or should I say The) Administrator. I didn't have the option of logging in as Administrator. When I booted up, my startup screen showed only the Ray Woodcock username. To add the Administrator on that opening page, Astrahost advised a registry edit at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList to add a DWORD named Administrator with http://raywoodcockslatest.blogspot.com/2010/07/winxp-you-must-be-logged-in-as.html a value of 1, followed by a restart. That worked -- I did have an Administrator account to log into now -- but I still got the same error message. I checked -- I was definitely logged in as Administrator -- but Advanced Windows Care didn't think so. I verified that this was not just an AWC issue. I tried installing another basic utility, known as Bulk Rename Utility, and got the same message: "You must be logged in as an administrator when installing this program." I got a clue from Marcin, who said this: If the [computer] is a member of a domain, then settings applied via Active Directory GPOs will take effect even when [it] is not connected to the network. Is this the case? If so, you would need to make the computer account a member of a workgroup (i.e. remove it from the domain) in order to be able to modify the local password policy.Pursuing a search along these lines, I heard Dave suggest that I try Control Panel > System > Computer Name > Change > Member of Workgroup. But that was already how it was set. While switching between accounts, though, I noticed that the slowness existed only in the Ray Woodcock account, not in the Administrator account. So I went into the Administrator account, hit Start > Run > cont
Denied on Windows XP and how to take ownership By Brajeshwar on 24 Sep 2005 in Technology In a recent hard disk crash, I had to do a restore from my back-up. Some of the files on a back-up drive was somehow avoiding me with an "Access http://brajeshwar.com/2005/file-access-denied-on-windows-xp-and-how-to-take-ownership/ Denied" even though I was logged in as the Administrator. I looked around and finally got the solution on how to take ownership of a file or folder in Windows. Here are the simplified steps. Log on to the computer http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Operating-Systems-and-Recovery/Installing-Drivers-Administrator-Error/td-p/141132 with an account that has administrative credentials. If you are running Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, you must start the computer in safe mode, and then log on with an account that has Administrative rights to have access to the must be Security tab. If you are using Windows XP Professional, you must disable Simple File Sharing. Right-click the folder/file that you want to take ownership of, and then click Properties. Click the Security tab, and then click OK on the Security message (if one appears). Click Advanced, and then click the Owner tab. In the Name list, click your user name, or click Administrator if you are logged in as Administrator, or click the Administrators group. If you want to take ownership must be logged of the contents of that folder, select the Replace owner on subcontainers and object check box. Click OK, and then click Yes when you receive the following message: You do not have permission to read the contents of directory folderName. Do you want to replace the directory permissions with permissions granting you Full Control? All permissions will be replaced if you press Yes. Click OK, and then reapply the permissions and security settings that you want for the folder and its contents. That's it.
