.msc Not working

Hi,

when you try to run the .msc (compmgmt.msc, etc...) through run command, then if it is not working for you, try this...

Simple solution to this problem ("Access Denied" for most .msc files) is: (Re-associate .msc files to be open by mmc.exe). Steps are: 1. Go to System32 folder in windows explorer. (Example: C:\Windows\System32) 2. Locate file "Services.msc". Select the file. Then Right click it and in context menu, select "Open With...". An Open with Dialog will open. 3. In Open With dialog, select Browse, and locate mmc.exe (Ex: C:\Windows\System32\mmc.exe). 4. In Open with Dialog, you will now see "Microsoft Management Console" selected. 5. Select the option "Always use the selected program". Click ok. And your are done. Now, Run Services.msc (Start->Run->Services.msc), and it should launch the services without the access denied error.
Please let me know if it doesn't work for you.
