    Sure i will help you out with this issue you need to follow few of the below Steps:-

    1. Download and install the Subinacl.exe file by Clicking .
    2. Now Open Notepad and paste following code:-

      cd /d "%ProgramFiles%\Windows Resource Kits\Tools"
      subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f
      subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f
      subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f
      subinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive% /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f

    Yes it won't worked because Soloman has Skip One step.

    After saving it you need to Right Click on it and "Run as Administrator".I am sure by doing this it will work for you.
