Re: Remove GPO setting Help!!

Where was the policy applied - locally or domain/OU level?? If that registry
key can be deleted on their computer somehow then it should clear that
setting until the Group Policy is changed/forced refreshed again. If it is a
domain/OU GPO setting then you could correct that setting and it should
refresh over the VPN at the next GP refresh interval which may be up to a
couple hours. You might also be able to remotely delete that registry key
while it is connected via the VPN if you have SMB connectivity to that
computer. --- Steve

A GPO setting was applied to a laptop at a remote location. The user can
not
longer run anything on their computer. Any ideas how I can get rid of the
setting?

The GPO that was mistakingly set was "Administrative Templates\System\Run
only allowed Windows applications" The registry location is
"HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer!RestrictRun"
I can have the user login as another acount and VPN in to our network but
they can no longer login as themself as the computer will not allow them
to
run anything. Help!!
