Ok, I've found that it is a result of the permissions on
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\LEGACY_WINVNC and it's
sub-keys. It appears to only allow system full control and every one else
read-only. I don't know why it does this, but I know that if I change the
permissions to allow administrators access, my problems go away. Does
anyone knoe another handy utility to do that at a command line?

Ok, I know this is not a WindowsNT forum, but since this is a topic of the
moment, I am having an issue with SC.EXE. It works fine until I try to set
a type= interact, then it fails with a number 87. I am logged into the
computer as a local administrator. Any ideas?
