army20 Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 In Windows XP Pro, Group policy apply to all users including the administrator. Try to play carefully in the group policy editor by doing : START --> RUN --> gpedit.mscBy the way, be careful because if you restrict the usage of the registry editor and the group policy editor you will be in big trouble.

mrpitman27 Posted March 25, 2005 Author Share Posted March 25, 2005 I looked in the Group Policy section and nothing has been configured in it. And, also my themes won't apply now. It goes back to classic style, and when I go to control panel and apply it my screen goes all gray and puter locks up. I have to reboot and theme isn't applied. I've ran virus scanner, spyware scanners, and they find nothing. So what is going wrong? Help me. Thxs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takeshi Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 It looks like you've been hijacked by some malicious scripts.In gpedit, look under:User Config\Admin Templates\Start menu and Takbar.There are 42 settings and they will not show up anything if the registry was changed directly. They only show up if you make the changes in gpedit.The item description should be self explanatory.OR, just go to regedit:HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorerand manually delete all the policy subkeys!
