Windows XP SP3 machine. When logged in to a Windows Domain network
with Power User privileges, all entries (shortcuts) in the
Administrative Tools menu (Control Panel/Performance and
Maintenance/Administrative Tools) do not work. Right clicking any
entry and selecting Properties only shows General and Shortcut tabs.
The Security tab is missing. The shortcut tab indicates the shortcut
is invalid. When logged in as the local computer administrator, all
Administrative Tools menu entries work properly. On other equally
configured computers on the network and logged in as a network user
(with Power User privileges), all Administrative Tools menu entries
work properly.
How can I get the Administrative Tools menu entries working properly
on the one computer noted above? Thanks and Happy New Year! |

If things work under one account and don't under another then you're dealing
with a permission issue. Find out which folder the problem shortcuts reside
in, then check who has what type of access to this folder. If this makes no
sense to you then your server/network administrator would be able to assist
you. |

Thanks for the quick response, Pegasus. I am the computer systems
administrator at this location. I have no clue where the shortcuts
for the Administrative Tools menu are located. Please point me to
them so I can check the user's privileges to them. Strange how this
is only on one of our 18 machines.

You right-click the shortcut, then left-click the General tab to see the
shortcut's location.

Thanks, Pegasus! All resolved now. The Power Users group had
sufficient privileges in the Administrative Tools folder but those
privileges had not propagated to the contents of the folder. Once I
propagated the privileges down, the menu items worked for the domain
user.
Thanks, again, and Happy New Year!
