My error is:
"MMC cannot open the file C:\WINDOWS\system32\gpmc.msc.
This may be because the file does not exist, is not an MMC console, or was
created by a later version of MMC. This may also be because you do not have
sufficient access rights to the file."
I find that other Domain Admins or Administrators have no problem opening
this gpmc.msc. I can even open it under my profile if I "run as" another
administrator.
I've looked at the ACL security, I've restored it from backup, I've repaired
it, I've deinstalled and reinstalled, I've removed my profile from Domain
Admin + Administrators and added it again. I've rebooted during many of these.
I also see that other msc's and have no trouble. It seems to be this one and
only gpmc.msc!
I'm at the point of deleting my profile and re-creating it, but I'll feel
like such a loser for doing so. Therefore, I thought I would ask this forum
first to see if there is another alternative before I take such a drastic
step (which may not even work)!
Any ideas?

Yes, thanks, that works fine. I suppose I could save this as a new console
(and attempt to find the icon for it), but isn't there a way to fix the old
gpmc.msc file? I tried changing its properties to open with IE and than back
to MMC, but that didn't fix it either.

Also, to help analyze the corruption (if that is indeed the issue), try
doing a diff between this file and C:\WINDOWS\system32\gpmc.msc.
