How do I get "Administrator Privileges"?
There are things that I cannot uninstall from my system. One in
particular is P2P Networking(Kazaa Media Desktop). I get the following pop-up: "Sorry, you do not have enough access rights for this operation" "Please log on with administrator privileges and repeat uninstallation process" Can anyone tell me how to log on with "adminsistrator priviledges", so I can start uninstalling unneeded apps? Thanks a lot. Darren Harris Staten Island, New York. |

Thanks a lot. Windows 9x/Me doesn't have user privileges (there is no administrator). Most likely you have a policy in place. Run REGEDIT and remove the following two keys. If the policy is such that it won't allow you run REGEDIT, boot to real-mode DOS from floppy or CD-ROM and merge the following REG file. Copy/paste the text into Notepad and save as C:\NOPOLICY.REG. Use the command: REGEDIT /S C:\NOPOLICY.REG to merge the file from DOS. REGEDIT4 [-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies] [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Policies] |

Another response addressed the Windows 95/98/ME. If you are running Win NT,
2000, or XP, log in as "Administrator" using whatever password has been assigned. If you do not know the administrator password, download Pettar Nordahl's very good password cracker and make up either a bootable CD or bootable floppy. Boot up, and you'll see Linux. Dont' worry. Follow Nordahl's instructions, and remove the administrator password entirely. Then log in as administrator and do as you wish. If you are using a corporate computer (unlikely), be prepared for the wrath of the corporate I.T. types...

I actually installed KAZAA over a year ago, and attempted to uninstall it after it made my (WindowsME)system more unstable than usual. Right now I'm on the verge of just saving important folders and wiping the hard drive clean. But since it is a Compaq, it's going to be hell installing an OS on it. Thanks.

Windows ME is a platypus part way between the DOS-oriented Win 95/98 and the
NT-kernel operating systems. It had a very short life, and Microsoft employees have admitted off the record that it is the worst version of Windows released. The fact that it really messes up the DOS-based capabilities makes it unacceptable to me. If you really want to limit the DOS stuff, go all the way with 2000 or XP...

But since it is a Compaq, it's going to be hell installing an OS on it. It'll be well worth your while though. If it's fast enough with more than 256MB of memory, get Win2000 or XP on it. 2000 is definately best. If not, consider getting your hands on a copy of Win98 SE. Windows ME is a horribly unstable piece of poo, unfortunately. True, fully as crappy as 98SE. ME is no worse than 98SE (and no better either). People saying bad things about ME usually have VERY limited experience (many did a "upgrade" over an old OS, something best avoided). The others are mindlessly repeating those people. Best Regards, |

Why would you recommend a 5 year old, virtually unsupported OS (2000) when
XP is vastly superior, particularly with device driver support. Tom "John" wrote in message ...
