Cannot access TWEAKUI XP not administrator?

[Guest Jim Wilson]

I have a weird problem and dont know how to correct it. A few weeks ago, I

installed the Windows XP Powertoy (TweakUI XP). The problem is that today I

clicked on the tweak UI icon in control panel and it failed to let me in,

and said it had been blocked by the administrator.

 

According to my computer, there is only one user set up in accounts and

thats me. My account is listed as administrator, so how can I make TweakUI

work again?

 

TweakUI did work when I first installed in as I used it to hide a windows

partition from the list of drives available in windows.... With this

current issue, I find I cannot un-hide the partition, due to not being able

to access TweakUI user interface.

 

Can anyone help me get out of this mess?

 

Thanks a lot.

By default, v2.10 (for WinXP) doesn't show up in the Control Panel. It should be

listed in the Add/Remove Program list. If not, you probably have the wrong

version installed.

 

I have version 2.10 installed and I don't see any option to hide partitions in

its listing.

The last TweakUI version for XP is 2.10. It installs in both the Control

Panel and Start Menu. From the CP TweakUI, I sent a shortcut to the

desktop, maybe you could try that. Also check the properties to see

that the proper path is listed. Version 2.10 can hide and unhide drives.

Add XP TweakUI Icon to the Control Panel

http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

 

No 1 left hand side.

 

Also to unhide, seek the information here:

 

It takes two steps. Follow each below:

 

Hide Drives in My Computer

http://www.winguides.com/registry/display.php/148/

 

Prevent Access to the Contents of Selected Drives

http://www.winguides.com/registry/display.php/1157/
