I keep getting the following error:
cannot write the value to Registry Key
\Software\Classes\Outlook.file.ics\Shell\open.

I have checked and have Administrators Privledges and don't know what else to do.

Thank you: Jim

What Operating System?

Perhaps this article will help:

Remember that Admin Privileges do not always automatically extend to all keys in the Registry and sometimes programs can remove admin privileges for specific keys. (this includes anti-virus and anti-spyware programs as well as some viruses themselves).

If needed, there is a way using SubInACL to restore admin privileges to the entire Registry. You can find information on that in M$ Help & Support.

Sorry for not including the operating system. It's Vista Business Edition /w SP1 installed. Thanks for the link, I'll try the suggestions tomorrow and let you know. Jim
