Run REGEDT32. Find the key called
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Policies\System. Look for values like "NoDispCPL" and "NoDispSettingsPage".
If they exist, they are probably set to 0. Change to 1 and reboot.
Of course, if thes settings are coming from a policy, they will be reset
when you log back in.

Subject: Changing Display Properties in W2K Prof
I just upgraded a W98 laptop to W2K professional and am unable to change the
display settings or for that matter gain access to the Control Panel. I get
an error message saying "Your System Administrator disabled the Display
Control Panel." I have access when I log in using the my local account, the
local admin account and even the domain admin account. However, it doesn't
like me changing things using my domain user account. I even added my
domain users account to the local administrator's group, but that didn't
help.
Current environment is NT4 domain with 1 W2K server.
What am I missing?
Thanks,
Steve
