Is loggoing on as an Administrator different than logging on in an account with admin. rights? I am the computer owner. How do I let XP know that?


No, that would not be different in this case. But still any account with admin rights might not have permissions to a registry key, it may be necessary to take ownership first and then change permissions. This happens regardless of wether you are using the built-in Administrator account or another account with admin privileges.
