Greetings,

I have a Windows 2000 Server that generates the following message when double-
clicking the
"My Computer" icon on the desktop. I have already tried what is described in
MSKB article Q172223.

This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this
action. Create an association in My Computer by clicking View and then
clicking Options.

Any adivse is appreciatted.

Thank You

Aaron

I did create a new user call test. Made it a member of administrators. Same
thing happens. In addition, I also have noticed i get this error when trying
to open control panel. Access to the specified device, path, or file is
denied. I have scoured this machine with both shareware and commercial
spyware scanners (Ad-aware and Psetpatrol), rootkit revealer from
sysinternals, and two different antivirus packages (CA and Symantec Corporate)
