Can't open administrative tools folder in XP Professional

[Scott McDonald]

Did an install of XP Pro over an existing windows 98 os. Everything seemed
to go just fine except that I can't open up the administrative tools folder.
I cannot install any anti-virus software as well....it says that it can't
open up the administrative tools. Anyone every see this problem before. I
guess I'll just have to try a complete re-install.

Thanks
Scott

Hi Scott,

Automated Edit:

Error 1606 ... Access Network Location (Line 66)

Manual Edit:

Go to: Start/Run/Regedit

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
\Explorer\Shell Folders

Ensure that the Common Admistrative Tools entry is correct.

It should read:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start
Menu\Programs\Administrative Tools

Err Msg: Error 1606 Could Not Access Network Location
