>From "My Computer" I select the "Manage" option and I get a popup with a red
X and an "Access is denied." message. No title is given for with the "Access
is denied" message box. I can run the Computer Management application:

%windir%\system32\mmc.exe /s %windir%\system32\compmgmt.msc

without any errors. It simply appears that this link from the "My Computer"
icon does not work. All other options from that menu ("Search", "Explore",
"Properties" and others) work fine. The registry "command" item uses the
command I have shown above.

Any ideas?
