When the system is installed directories' " ownership" is held by "trusted user". Next time you log in you have no rights at all since you are now the administrator user - not the "trusted installer" (he was promptly killed after the installtion). You cannot edit eny of the \windows files. At that point you can right click on the Windows directory, go to Sequrity and folow the help (quite invloved but doable) of how to take over the \Windows sub directories and files ownership. Once you acomplish that (not a small f... ) you must seperatly folow it with giving yourself all file realted rights. After that you can run adminstrative tools and it actualy will save you settings...
