    services.msc Access Is Denied

    Windows XP with service pack 3. All the latest updates. When I click Start -
    Run - SERVICES.MSC I get the message above. The same message appears for any
    other .MSC pogram. I can access the MANAGE option in the properties on MY
    COMPUTER to manage the PC. How do I fix this fault ? Thanks for any replies.

    I also faced the same issue and found this on computing.net (posted by bono)

    I ran into the same issue and fixed the problem by re-associating .msc files
    with the Microsoft Management Console (mmc.exe). Navigate to the
    C:\Windows\System32 folder and right-click the eventvwr.msc file (or any .msc
    file). Choose 'Open With'. If you see the Microsoft Management Console listed
    at the top of the next window, click on it to highlight. If you do not see
    the Microsoft Management Console, click Browse, navigate to
    C:\Windows\System32, and double-click the mmc.exe file. With the Microsoft
    Management Console or mmc highlighted in the Open With box, check the box for
    'Always use the selected program to open this kind of file'. Click OK and see
    if the issue is resolved.
