User has a new install of Toad. However, opening Toad will result in the following error due to insufficient user rights to the ToadSoft home page.
"You do not have permission to access this page"
Insufficient User rights.
Change the Toad's settings file in order to disable the option to open the Toadsoft Home Page at startup as follows:
1. Close Toad
2. Go to C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Local Settings\Application Data\Quest Software\Toad for SQL Server 4.1 folder
3. Open Settings.xml file with NotePad, right-click on file and select "Open With" to do this.
4. In this file, search for the text "startupaction"
5. It will find the following line:
<startupAction xsi:type="a1:ToadSettings+StartupEnum" xmlns:a1="http://schemas.microsoft.com/clr/nsassem/Quest.Toad.Settings/ToadCore%2C%20Version%3D3.0.0.736%2C%20Culture%3Dneutral%2C%20PublicKeyToken%3Dc862883b2ae69822">ToadStudioOnline</startupAction>
6. Replace that entire line with the below line:
<startupAction xsi:type="a1:ToadSettings+StartupEnum" xmlns:a1="http://schemas.microsoft.com/clr/nsassem/Quest.Toad.Settings/ToadCore%2C%20Version%3D3.0.0.736%2C%20Culture%3Dneutral%2C%20PublicKeyToken%3Dc862883b2ae69822">Empty</startupAction>
7. Verify that the new line states "Empty" as designated above.
8. Save the file and reopen Toad
