Hi,

I am using WinXP Pro, and am not on a network, and have myself setup as administrator. I can do almost all functions, but whenever I try to install a printer, I am getting Access Denied message, even though printer is detected drivers look to be installed, but then I get Access denied and the printer is not added. Can someone please help. I think there is some security issue, because there are a few files in the My Documents folder that I can not rename, delete, move. Could it be something to do with NTFS, and how can I force NTFS cleanup of the drive. When I try to login as Administrator, I get an explorer:Application failed to initialize properly error message, and explorer is never displayed. Lot's of weird crap. Can someone help with any of these.
