scar123 Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 I dont really know what happened, but I guess my dad installed some viruses on this computer. I ran all the spyware programs / avg virus and detected / cleaned all the viruses out. The only problem now is that I cannot run regedit because it says that it is disabled by the administrator and the run option that I need is also gone from the start menu and is also disabled from the running when i press the windows key and r. Aso the time box on th taskbar shows ???? marks in the end of the time. I posted a screenshot. Can anyone please help me? thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLXX Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 It's controlled by a key in the registry... though since regedit is disabled you'll have to create a .reg file and merge that instead.Don't know about the Time though... have you tried adjusting the settings in the Time/Date control panel applet?

Viscon Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 rename regedit.exe and run it.then go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\DisallowRunand see if regedit.exe is mentioned there. if it is, delete its entry.after that rename regedit back to its original.

snafumaster Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 there is no virus just a grat tool ur dad used to disable regeditThere may still be some kind of virus or malware installed. I have seen many that disable system tools like msconfig, regedit and task manager. Your advice checking the local group policy is very good though.
