hi using xp pro sp2 i was trying out some ....firewall and i decided to get rid of it the next boot i had noticed that the run command and "shutdown" are gone from my start menu as well as settings. I menaged to get them back with reg works. And i thought taht was all but ;( when i wanted to run the task menager i got "..disabled by the admin" hmmmm im the only admin (and the only account) on this pc so what the heck... i created one more admin account and everything was rocking beautifully there so my question is how to get into deep commands on privileges and user accounts in XP?
