Hi, Need help to work around with my problem... Power Policy Manager unable to set active. (Access denied). Pop-up for user account in Win XP Pro. But, I have no problem if I logged in as an administrator. Can anyone show me step by step or any website providing a step by step procedure...

I don't exactly understand what you are trying to do or not do... But, if it works logged in as an administrator, use it that way. It makes sense to me that you wouldn't be able to edit a whole lot of policies as a limited user. I imagine for security purposes, you need to be logged in as an administrator. -=Bryan=-

Boy was that a brainless response! From the looks of it your trying to configure the power options. i.e Shut off monitor in 20 minutes. This issue is still pissing me off. Tho you can do the following, its how I have gotten over it. Aimi, add the user to the Local Admin group and make the change. Then you can remove the user from the local admin group and the settings will remain.
