    Control panel item not opening
    Hi

    I am using Windows XP SP2 OS and I am logged in as an administrator. But still I can't open any program in control panel .

    e.g. if I double click on or even right click on any program like Add Remove Programs and click on open then also I got the error of " Windows can't access the specified device , path or file . You may not have the appropriate permission to access the item"

    I have tried to delete .cpl files and restarted the PC but same error.

    Can anybody help me on this issue.
