I have windows xp Pro, I'll make a long story short..By mistake I changed
some registry values which disabled my control panel, cannot open any files
or folders, can't open my email. None of my desktop items will open.
Anything I try to open I get the same message everytime, This operation was
cancelled due to restrictions on this computer. Please contact the
Administrator. I am the Administrator. I still have access to the internet.
But when I download a program it won't open and I get this message " Invalid
Enrty" I've tried everything I could think of to restore but to no success.
Safe mode doesn't work to restore. I ran virus scan-no viruses.
There were 6 spywares and I deleted them. Tell me if this makes any sense
to anyone, a friend thinks I have restricted myself from accessing the
control panel by activating a group policy and my user account does not have
administrative rights. This is what was suggested to fix the problem, log in
as an Administrator and make a normal user account a member of the
Administrator group. Now can someone walk me through this set up cause I
have no clue where and how to start this procedure. I have been trouble
shooting for over a month now and I'm just about ready to give up. If anyone
can relate to this issue please respond with a miracle answer. .P.S I don't
have the XP Windows Professional installation CD.
Thanks, Shabri
