Internet Explorer Script Error (User Accounts page)
I created a new account on my Windows XP Home Edition machine and made it a Computer Administrator account, changing the current one to a limited user account.
In the new account, I wanted to change the older account back to Computer Administrator and the User Account wouldn't open displaying a dialog box with title Internet Explorer Script Error with details:
*******************************************************
An error has occured on the script on this page.
Line:
Char:
Error:
Code:
URL:
Do you want to continue running scripts on this page?
Yes | No
******************************************************
Could I have any help on what has happened and what I can do?
Thanks.

If you don't come up with a simpler fix, you might want to consider using this
tool.
Quoting from the article listed below, "SubInACL can also help resolve Internet
Explorer script errors caused by incorrect access control permissions for
specific user accounts on the system."
Solving setup errors by using the SubInACL tool to repair file and registry
permissions

Meanwhile, you can elevate your old account to administrative status by doing
the following,
Go to Start -> Run and enter cmd.exe in the Open box.
At the command prompt, enter the following command substituting the correct
account name for where you see OldAccount,
net localgroup administrators /add OldAccount
Good luck

Re: Internet Explorer Script Error (User Accounts page)
Open a command prompt window, Start -> Run -> cmd.exe.
Enter the following command,
net user
Does your old user account show up in the list of accounts on your computer?
Enter this command,
net localgroup users
What accounts are listed as being members of this group?

Re: Internet Explorer Script Error (User Accounts page)
Glad to hear you were able to fix the problem. I posted a response before
checking this thread so you can ignore it.
