I recently changed some policy changes regarding user
logon and file privaleges. Now when logging on, the
system logs any user off right away, including the
administrator. I can't get to the desktop to change the
policies back. Any ideas???
 
If you have XP Pro on your computer, at the log in screen type
ctrl-alt-delete
twice. In the user account type administrator, leave the password blank and
press enter. You likely didn't create a password for this hidden account
during setup and if the computer was purchased with XP pre-installed it
doesn't likely have one either,

If you have Home, boot into Safe Mode (F8 after the post test and before
Windows starts. Once Windows starts loading, you've missed it and will have
to try again). You'll have an option to log on as Administrator. Again,
the same procedure, you'll be asked to log in to get into safe mode, type
administrator, leave the password blank and press enter.

This will get you in and should allow you to make any necessary. If that
doesn't resolve it, try the same method for getting into your system but try
using System Restore to take you back to a time prior to when the changes
were made. Start\All Programs\Accessories\System Tools\System Restore.
