The error appears when the virus hijacks your admin account. It changes your file permission, so that the antivirus tool or the user cannot make changes to the system. The best way to deal with this is first to run a full system scan. Second runs system restore and if you are trying to delete any file then you can use a tool called unlocker. This tool lets you to gain full access to any file and folder. Just right click and unlock. Then you can delete the file, or else there is no option rather formatting your system completely.

Here are instructions I was given to solve this problem.

Click on "Start" button
Click on "Control Panel"
Click on "Default Programs"
Click on "Set programs access & Computer defaults"
Options for Chosing a configuration, Click on "Microsoft Windows"
Click on 'okay'

That will get you back to where you started out.

I got this error in outlook express when I clicked on a email link. I tried a number of time but still the same error appear. After a hours of messing up I found the solution for this. The issue cause of a feature which is deactivates because of no admin right. For you will need to restore a registry key which is located at - HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Classes\htmlfile\shell\open\command. This is key which is either damaged or corrupted. To restore that you need to run registry editor. You can do that manually also. But to fix that I will advice you to use any better registry cleaner tool.

The corrupt services in windows cause this issue and this can be due to virus also. The most you can do is reset the settings of any email client or web browser where you are facing the problem. Reset the settings by going in Internet Option > Advance menu and then check one more time. If not login in admin account again and check. A restart simply fix the issue. It the problem appears a number of time try to run system restore.
