access denied

[Guest]

How do I change access/permissions to run scheduled tasks, and re-format
discs?Did I do something wrong when i originally set up the computer? Every
where I look I have admin/owner full access. I am the only one who uses this
computer,although I do log on under my own name not Admin.

Since you didn't include anything about what happens when you
try to run sheduled tasks, I can't give you a more specific
answer than this:

Scheduled Tasks cannot run with a blank password

How To Troubleshoot Scheduled Tasks in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;308558

If you want additional help, open the Scheduled Tasks log
(C:\Windows\Schedlgu.txt) and copy and paste the entries for
the tasks that aren't being run into a response to this
message.

As for formatting disks, keep in mind that you won't be able to
format the disk that Windows is installed on while Windows is
running. Windows is a lot of things but suicidal isn't one of
them.

Good luck

Sorry, when i try to run scheduked tasks, I get access denied, you do not
have permission to perform the requested operation. And on the re-formatting,
I should have mentioned that I was refering to cd and dvd drives. I can do an
initial format but cannot re-format on rw discs. I get basically the same
message.

First make sure you are indeed logged on as an administrator. You can use
the command net user username [entering your logon name for username] to see
if you are in the local administrators group. --- Steve

Yes, I am indeed listed as an administrator. I'm not sure what you yo mean by
logon vs. username. If it helps, I am the only user name on the comuter aside
from administrator(hidden on log on screen) and guest (disabled) and I am
listed as a computer administrator.

If you are running XP Pro then see the KB article link below on how to
change security settings to default defined levels using the secedit command
as it sounds that somehow they got mucked up. If that does not help let me
know the exact message you get when you attempt to do a task that you can
not do but feel you should be able to do. --- Steve

The issue with the schedule tasks has been resolved but I staill cannot
re-format cd/dvd rw discs. The message is 'You user account settings will not
allow you to perform this operation. You must be designated as computer
administrator to format this disc.' And as I mentioned before I am designated
as an administrator. Where do I go from here? XP SP2 (not XP Pro)

I really don't know what the problem would be with XP Home. There are things
that could be done with XP Pro [such as auditing] that might help to
troubleshoot further. One thing to look at is the registry key listed below
and set the value to 2 using regedit. --- Steve

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\allocatedasd

I followed your tree and the only things in winlogon are Credentials,
GPextensions, Notify, SCLogon, and SpecialAcounts. No 'allocatedasd'. Where
do I go from here?

It may not exist on XP Home. You could however add it. Right click winlogon
and select new string value, type in allocatedasd with a value data of 2.
You may also want to contact the manufacturer of your DVD drive and the
software publisher of the software that came with it or visit their websites
where they often have a FAQ section that may help. --- Steve
