    Try running it from an Elevated Command Prompt.

    Click on the Start Orb and enter cmd
    At the top, under Programs, you'll see cmd.exe
    Right click on it and select Run as Administrator

    The Command Prompt window should look like this:

    Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600]

    C:\Windows\system32>


    Try running the subinacl command now.

    Hi,

    I'm running a software called Bellarc advisor. this software runs and tells you everything you have on your computer (hardware and everything). I have a red cross besides Administrator (disabled) under the local system accounts. Under Users, I have my account and it says I'm an administrator.Does it means that I'm not an administrator anymore ?

    Any ideas!

    No, that just means the hidden Administrator account is disabled. It is disabled by default in Windows 7.

    WindowsStar said:
    subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=Administrators=f /grant=System=f /grant=Users=r /setowner=Administrators

    Is good. I will do the ROOT key and all subkeys.

    I was originally using the SubInACL tool to repair file and registry permissions when i found that it was failing alot of times at 'HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT'. I also get the 'egSetKeySecurity Error: 5 Access is denied'. So i tried out the method mentioned above but sadly it didn't work. I ran an elevated command prompt. Is there any way to solve this? Also, SubInACL failed alot of time at 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE'.

    I am not very proficient at computers and so i sincerely hope someone here can help me. Also, what are the possible problems i might face because of these errors?

    Help anyone? I have been reading up a bit on the possible devastation giving yourself total access can cause and all i want to know know is what possible damage could occur to my computer, it being in the state that it is, with permissions being 'half given' if i understand my situation correctly.

    Also, is there any way to reset the permissions without affecting the usage of my programs and what not?


    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If you have made a backup image ( I assume you have )

    Have you tried restoring any changes made by Tune Up utils - it must have some kind of restore/rescue module ?

    Otherwise, you can give this a whirl. Not sure if it will do the trick , but it's free and only takes a few mins.

    Thank you for your reply.

    To be completely honest, i sadly did not make a backup image. I know that was the pinnacle of stupidity and have learned my lesson. However, my main concern is to reverse/repair any damage my system is currently suffering.

    Also, as i mentioned above, i don't even know what might happen and would really appreciate it if someone could enlighten me on possible problems i might face.

    I will give the utility you mentioned a try and get back to you.

    Just another example. I tried to access .itms , under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, and i get an error stating ".itms cannot be opened. An error is preventing this key from being opened. Details : access is denied". When I look under the permission option, I get a message with a message like this "You do not have permission to view the current permission settings..."

    @gouletjo did you ever get the Hidden Administrator Account working? Are you able to log on with it? If you can then you need to run the command I provided before. You need to reset all the premissions on the key:

    subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=Administrators=f /grant=System=f /grant=Users=r /setowner=Administrators

    If that does not work you can try this, however you MUST be logged on as the Hidden Administrator for this to work. Open Command Prompt and type:

    secedit /configure /CFG %SystemRoot%\inf\defltbase.inf /DB defltbase.sdb /verbose /areas REGKEYS
