After looking at a couple other posts I think that it might be helpful to give you a little background on the machine. It's probably 4 years old and the motherboard was replaced about 18 months ago. When I look in control panel at users it only lists my name [with administrator privileges] and guest. I don't remember if the guys at CompUSA that replaced the mobo added a new user with my name or just renamed the Admin user that existed when it was bought. I have had a few occasions when editing the registry where I had to change the permissions in order to delete a key. I suspect that there are some inconsistencies in users and permissions based upon what user the files were created under.
Just a hunch...

I don't mean to hi-jack this thread but I am having the same problem with an XP Home sp3 machine. In the KB article referenced in the previous post it says "Windows XP Home Edition-based computers always have Simple File Sharing enabled" so I don't know how this is gonna help either Shannon or myself..
Even though I am logged on as an administrator I get the same error that Shannon described.
I tried creating a new user with administrator privileges but it didn't change anything. Is there any way to "reset" all of the ownership/access permissions on an XP Home machine to a particular user? I know that on my Vista machine I can take ownership of everything from the security tab of the drive properties but I don't see anything like that for the XP Home machine.
Thanks in advance,
Howard
