Clip Organizer Error 80070005

Many of you have noticed that the Clip Organizer hasn't been working. Specifically, you receive this message when trying to search for clip art:
Clip Organizer cannot access the file.
Access is denied. Error code: 0x80070005
This seemingly unrelated support page from Microsoft had the answer. Apparently an update over Christmas break removed the "Everyone" user from C:\Program Files\Common Files\System. I've now replaced it.

The upshot is that Clip Organizer should now be working. If not, Reboot And Try Again™.
