oh my, i just couldn't believe it!:) you should open some kind of workshop in teaching these things because they are essential knowledge that people need to know for everyday life, especially when dealing with computers and that we're preparing for a future deffinitely full of these kinds of problems. and on the plus side, you'll earn millions! haha! well, god bless, and thank you ever so much. you're a pc-miracle-doctor!

thank you so much! i learned so much with this... but, like sandeep singh, i couldnt find my gpedit.msc... though i managed to return back my folder options and the run command (because of a virus), the gpedit.msc is really not existing in my computer... can you help me with that please?

I tried all these options. I have got error message: 'This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please conatct your system adminstrator.' I am the only user of this computer. What can I do further than this. Please help me.

It was Basic for me.
But When i try to give shortcut command by pressing Winlogo+r for run Command
It displays an following error "Run command is disabled by Administrator" And one more funda is I am logon as administrator mode. Please provide an solution and mail to my E-mail address.I tried to find with GPedit.msc also Nothing is working. I hope you provide an answer for me.......

Thanks a million for putting me on the right path! However, I found my "NoRun" entry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartMenu\StartMenu\StartMenuRun\Policy\NoRun
I deleted it and had my Run command back after reboot. I know this was caused by a nasty virus I had a couple of months ago.
