    It sounds like there is a Group Policy restriction at some level that also applies to
    administrators that you can override. Gpresult can help you determine where user
    configuration is being applied to you. Check user configuration/administrative
    templates/control panel - disable control panel to see if it is enabled. Gpedit.msc
    will bring up Local Group Policy. Otherwise you will have to use Active Directory
    users and Computers to view domain and domain controller Group Policy. Select domain
    or domain controller container and then properties/Group Policy/edit. --- Steve
