I am having a problem at my house right now. Before you reply, read this *I
DID CHECK GOOGLE*. When i try to change the settings for my network
adapters, i just right-click on "My Network Places", go to properties, and
get the error "you do not have permission to open the network and dial-up
connections folder." I am using the Administrator account, and it still
isn't working. I need to get it working, so i can try to get some RRAS stuff
to work before Tuesday,
 
Verify that you indeed are using and administrators account by using " net user
username " to view group membership and/or " net localgroup administrators ". If this
is a domain computer, try logging on as a local administrator.

There are settings in Group Policy that can restrict user access, even if you are an
administrator if the policy was not "filtered" . The policy could be local via
gpedit.msc or at the domain/OU level for a domain computer. Gpresult can tell what
Group Policies are applying to a user if run while logged on as that user. Gpresult
/u /v will be in verbose mode and will tell more of what exact settings are applied
to a user and from what GPO. The settings in particular are in user
configuration/administrative templates/network/network and dialup connections. If
this is a non domain computer, I would change all those settings to disabled to see
if it helps if they show as undefined.

If that does not help then you have permissions problems somewhere else or other
issues. The link below may help. You can use secedit to reset "local" security
settings back to default defined levels. In particular start with user rights by
appending /areas user_rights after the command. If that does not help I would try
resetting all security settings back to default defined levels as the KB shows. ---
