4. Highlight "Administrators" and check on "Full Control" under "Accept".
5. Click the "Advanced" button and choose the "Owner" tab.
6. Highlight the current user account in the list and mark the check box before "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects".
7. Click OK to save changes and wait for Windows XP to transfer the ownership of all the objects on the partition.
Note: if there is the warning information "Error: The Registry Editor could not set security in the key currently selected, or some of its subkeys", it is normal. Please click "OK".
8. Click OK again to save the changes and exit the Properties window.
Then, please repeat the steps above to check permissions for this key:
