Re: Unable to download iTunes 6 due to "Security settings"

Make sure you are logged on as an administrator. You can use the command net
localgroup administrators to see membership of the local administrators
group. If you used any program such as Spybot Search and Destroy, etc to
"protect" your computer try to use the application to reverse the changes.
Sometimes AdAaware SE will display after a scan registry keys that are
locking down the computer and offers to remove them so that may be worth a
try. You are more limited to easily reversing security settings on XP Home
unless you can get a copy of secedit from XP Pro in which case you can use
seceded to try and restore security settings to default defined levels which
may or may not help depending on exactly what is being restricted. ---
