That looked promising, however I still have the same
problem even with giving every user, group, whatever all
rights, priviledges, frequent flyer points and anything
else I could tack on.

I now have two pieces of software which I am unable to run
on my XP platform because of this stupid glitch... they
run fine on good ol' 98, but then they are allowed to
write to files in that OS.

and I thought XP was an upgrade..........
