Hello,

My XP Pro machine was a member of a test domain I created where software
restrictions where in place for SP2. I have removed the machine from the
domain and it is now a member of a workgroup but I can still not install
SP2.

I get an error that this has been restricted.

How can I clear these policy's out of Windows now that I am out of the
domain. I really don't want to re-image this machine because it is running
some applications that are a real pain to get working.

Thanks for any help.
