Thanks ago,

	I can't seem to change the settings in the config files.

	I am logged on to the machine a me/domain

	The user I am logged on as is in the W2K machine's Administrators
group.
	But the config file is owned by SYSTEM and I can't seem to edit it.

	What's the best course of action?

Thanks
