When you install a program, Windows XP displays a message similar to:
Could not access network location <Common Administrative Tools>.All users\.
This error is caused by an incorrect entry in the Common Administrative Tools Value Name.
To resolve the problem:
1. Use the Registry Editor to navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders.
2. Double-click the Common Administrative Tools Value Name, a REG_EXPAND_SZ data type, and set the
data value to %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Administrative Tools.
3. Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders.
4. Verify that the Common Administrative Tools Value Name, a string data type, is set to the expanded equivalent
of %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Administrative Tools, normally
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Administrative Tools.
5. Exit the Registry Editor.
6. Shutdown and restart your computer.
