Trying to close Explorer file manager, get this error:

[Guest wsxedcrfv]

A win-98 user on usenet has posted this problem, looking for a reason or cause:

========================

Trying to shut down my Windows Explorer file manager by any means I know fails and results in this message:

_________

restrictions |

--------------- |--------------------------------------------------------------------

This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on

this computer. Please contact your system administrator

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

=======================

There are some references to getting this message if running Office XP under win-98 (that isin't the case here).

Web searches for that error message all seem to point back to this registry key:

HKCU/SOFTWARE/MICROSOFT/WINDOWS/CURRENTVERSION/POLICIES/EXPLORER/RestrictRun

Supposedly, that error string is contained within explorer.exe.

But if I understand this correctly, the "restrictrun" policy setting is used to PREVENT a user from running a given program, not to prevent the user from closing the program.

Any ideas as to what can cause the above error when trying to close file explorer?
