Hi Blade

Ran ERUNT as suggested, however I'm confused with the next part in the Registry Editor

I highlighted the key you outlined, clicked on edit and went into advanced to get to the permissions tab. "Inherent from parent the permission entries etc." was already unticked (is this the area you're talking about?), and I'm not sure about hitting "copy" as there's no copy button there? Under Permissions for Administrators, Full Control and Read are both already ticked so didn't need to do anything there. It's just the "inherent" and "copy" parts that confuse me. Argh, my beacon is shining brightly again!!

Thanks!
Julie
