On a Windows 2000 Pro machine, regardless of user account
logged in(administrator or otherwise), I am receiving
an "access denied" error when trying to open any folder
or application. Security permissions look fine.

I can access files on the pc remotely through the admin
c$ share, but no user, including local administrator, can
access anything from the console.

Any suggestions?

TIA,

Have you applied the MS03-026 patch? Not sure if it's relevant to your
problem, but you need to do it anyway - and get a firewall and AV software
installed.
 
The problem with both of the suggested fixes here is that
I am unable to run any applications at all. Even the
patch. Unless I can find some registry hack or remote
installation method for the patches, it looks like I may
be performing a fresh install.
