To fix this fault you have to use the registry editor as it looks like permissions get screwed up.

Click the “Start Button”

type “regedit” without the quotes and press enter.

Navigate to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList by clicking the following

  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
  • SOFTWARE
  • Microsoft
  • Windows NT  <—- note that it is Windows NT
  • CurrentVersion

Now right click on NetworkList and select “Permissions”

Click “Advanced”

Select “Everyone” or “SYSTEM”

Put a tick in the box “Replace all child object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object”

Click OK.

Restart your computer and all should be well.
