LOL! I screwed my Admin account!

[RWB]

I somehow restricted access to my Admin account, I don't know when or how. But so far it seems I do not have permission to veiw the Control Panel and anything below it.

I realized somethingw as wrongw hen I tried to get in to Display Properties, and was told I am not allowed, I then tried getting in through the Start menus Control Panel, but there was no Control Panel Option under Settings. I then treid going in through the My COmputer section... no luck again, it is as if I have no control panel.

But of course I somehow restricted my Admin account... anyone?

Using a nifty tool I forgot I had, I was able to change it back to norm again. So far it SEEMS fine, testing.

jeez.. the fun things you get to do after a reformat and retweaking ;)

Ace Utilities... not a free thing, but as I see it, I will just simply reformat my PC every month for the free trial all the time ;) Unless I find a way to get rid of the countdown.

And back once again........

This program gives the admin ownership over the specified files or directories regardless of the current ownership or security permissions.

Very useful, found it on a site when trying to take back ownership of a hacked directory on my FTP.

Ace is great for clearing all Temp files from your PC, including all the histrory and stuff! Very good, I use it in conjunction with Spybot, and Ad Aware and my system stays uber clean ;)
