I have not messed with that program yet....so I don't know what options it has but my understanding was you can take "Control" of XP's security features from within that program.

You also mentiond that "Group" that was created. When you tryed to delete the group were you logged on under the Administrator account??


Download and install CCleaner..http://www.ccleaner.com/ccdownload.asp

1. Open the program and the "Cleaner" button should be active.
2. Click on "Run Cleaner"
3. Once thats done it will clean out the TEMP folder.
4. Now click on "Issues" and then "Scan for Issues"
5. Once it's done checkmark ALL it finds and click "Fix Selected Issues"
6. It will ask you if you want to back up the registry entrys it's removing so please do so. If it removes anything important..just locate the .reg file you saved...double click on it to add the entrys back.

Close the program.
