Jeepers - like which? I only have McAfee on this Dell machine that might
theoretically be blocking, but I can't see how.
I've tried to check the local security settings in Control Panel, but I
can't see anything that would be relevant here. Please can you tell me what I
should be looking for, perhaps in the Administrative tools of the control
panel.

There are a number of 3rd party security programs that have the option
to block some registry updates. So check the settings in any of those
programs that you may have installed.

Please read it all before answering:
I have the problem of Outlook Express (on WindowsXP SP2) not
remembering the
passwords BUT when I follow the registry key deletion process, I get
as far
as Checking the box for "Replace permission entries on all child
objects with
entries shown here that apply to child objects" and, when I click OK,
I get
an error message: "Unable to save permission changes on S-1-5-21-21
........
Access is denied".
I am logged on as an administrator, so what's the problem and how can
I fix
it so that I can go back and fix the original problem?
