Good to hear it worked! I find it rather annoying that everything else
asks for admin access when needed, but the MMC (Microsoft Management
Console) snap-ins on which Computer Management is based don't.
If you frequently want to use Computer Management, I'd suggest creating
a shortcut to it somewhere (desktop, start menu, quick launch bar -
wherever you like) - use the RIGHT mouse button to drag Computer
Management to where you want the shortcut and select "Create Shortcut
Here". Then right-click on the shortcut, select properties, Shortcut
tab, click Advanced..., and check the "Run as administrator" box. That
way it will ask for admin access every time you launch the shortcut,
without having to remember to right-click and select Run as
administrator. You also have a conveniently placed shortcut to it ;o)
Mark.
