Hello and thank you for your prompt response. I should have been more detailed in my explanation and environment. The scenario I define here happens EVERY TIME I install and then reboot my Vista machine, within which, I believe I have admin rights. This Vista machine is my own personal machine.
Unfortunately as I write this, I am at the office, and not at home so I cannot check that Tomcat is in fact running when I see that security "red X" dialog box generate, and I am sure that the default permissions are set on the directory where Tomcat is installed. I am sure that Tomcat is not running when this dialog appears because, as I stated, I am allowed to start Tomcat by clicking on Start -> All Programs -> Apache Tomcat 6.0 -> Tomcat Manager. Wouldn't Windows or Tomcat complain if I did this and it was already started? Another important point: At any time, when I click on click on Start -> All Programs -> Apache Tomcat 6.0 -> Configure Tomcat I get the same "Red X" dialog box stating "Access is denied. Unable to open the server 'Tomcat6'". Hmm... Are you thinking that possibly Vista is disallowing the Tomcat Monitor from running? Thanks again Gary FYI...
