If you have another computer on the network then logon to that computer and
use the mmc snapin for Group Policy and select the locked out computer to
manage [via browse/other computer] and you will need to be logged on as a
user that is a local administrator on the locked out computer. If that is
not possible go to the \winnt\system32\group policy\user folder and give
deny permissions to the administrators group for full control. Then try to
run regedit and find the
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\
key and delete any entries it it. That should allow you to then open
gpedit.msc and then immediately reverse your bad settings AFTER changing the
NTFS permissions on the \winnt\system32\group policy\user folder to give
administrators full control again. If you can not run regedit. Then find
regedit in the \winnt folder, make a copy of it to somewhere, rename it to
iexplore.exe and try to run it from that folder as ie.explore.exe. If that
works be sure to rename it to regedit.exe when done. --- Steve
