As you can tell by the subject bar, I am having a problem with Admin.
When try to use a plethora of options on my computer at work. I get a message something like this "do not have sufficient access". Is there a way around this?
I am becoming a post whore, sorry.
-Thanks for the input,

P.S I just want to change my desktop alittle. Is that to much to ask? And before you ask they wont grant access. Thanks again.
a quick answer is that if your Admins have decided that you shouldn't change the set-up, then don't.
If you change the config and get caught, chances are you'll be in trouble so don't bother.

haha thats the thing wid admins.. we are up tight....
trust me ur lucky.. if i was your admin i wouldnt even let you access or empty your recycle bin.. hehe ;)
Appeciate the replies, not exactly what i was looking for though.
I picked up a text file about by passing local restrictions from this site a few weeks ago.
I don't know who originally posted it or in what thread. I don't want to post it again and use up more of JP's disk space so if you can't find it pm me and I'll email it on to you.
I work for a utility. By default systems are delivered locked. Fortunately for me I work in IT and was able to make a business case for needing local Admin rights and manager signed off it. Have u examined that route?
Cheers,

I would go for the machine admin angle. Chances are if your admins are any like us here then you won't get it.
Better check the rules with your company. Most companies have reasons for setting the policies the way they are. At my company, we allow the end user to change the desktop and the screen saver, but that is about all they can do. A lot of things are quite obvious if they are changed though. If someone changes the name of My Computer, to Bob's Computer, that is considered an unauthorized change unless they have written permission (which I will not give them). In that case, the minimum is 3 days unpaid suspension, with a possibility of termination. It sounds harsh, but after the second time someone shut off their antivirus, and unleashed a virus on our network, we locked down just about everything. So make sure you check with company policy before you make ANY changes to your computer. Changing your desktop isn't really worth your job, is it?
The others have a point. Get permission first.
i suppose so but try nt security eplorer if all else fails
You don't really need that Playboy wallpaper.
:cool:
i dont know about this, but have you tried right clicking on a picture and pick "save as background" coz see, in da work place i worked in, users didnt have access to the desktop control panel BUT for some miracle the "Save As Background" manages to get through.. odd? haha yeah.. and to think that was Windows 2000 Professional..
Every one I greatly appreciate all the replies, Wether they helped or not.
-rcgreen a got a laugh out of that. Thanks.
-sOnIc Thanks I will try that out.
-Garathjax I will look and i will pm you if i cant find it, Thanks man
-Every one I didn't address personally, thanks for the input. My belief is that my admins dont really know how to grant access for specific funtions. Its all or nothing. They live very reclusive lives and are very seldom seen.
Thanks Everyone,

It's also entirely possible that your administrators have gotten tired of users who want to change their resolution settings to play Quake, and set them too high for their monitors. Then of course there are the users that would install their own screensavers to either a streaming news video website that would kill network bandwidth, or on the other end, would install screen saver viruses. Or those that change their appearance to something totally unreadable, and whine when they can't remember what they did, wasting the admin's time. *chuckles* On the other hand, it is job security for them.
