OK, I've managed to resolve the problem completely - but I give no
guarantees it will work for everyone. It involves a significant registry
hack to assign permissions.
DO NOT ignore item 1) - During my experiments I completely wiped my
registry and needed to go into the Recovery Console to restore a backup.
Read the thread title - this is XP-Home only, I can't imagine this hack
working in XP-Pro.
1) Backup your registry and ensure you have a means to access your
windows system if things go belly-up.
2) Fire up windows with the admin account that allows msas to work.
3) Start regedit
4) Right-click HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and select Permissions...
5) Click ADD
6) enter 'administrators' in the white box and click OK
7) Check 'full control'
8) Click ADD
9) enter 'everyone' in the white box and click OK
10) Check 'read'
11) Click 'Advanced'
12) Ensure that both the 'administrators' and 'Everyone' entries are
set to 'This key and subkeys'
13) Check the 'replace permission entries ... to child objects' box
14) Select 'Apply' and wait while XP goes through your entire HKLM
hive giving full control to administrators and ensuring that
everyone can read the keys.
Good luck!

I even managed to resolve this. I logged into my other administrator
account and repeated the process I described above. By going through the
process twice, once for each administrator account, I now have
synchronised permissions for both accounts.

Still confused as to *HOW* the admin account permissions got out of
synch.
