Hello experts,

In a box with WinXP SP2 with 2 users (single user & admin) im
the
admin, the other user is only allow to make a telnet
connection to a
server, so i used gpedit.msc to make all the necessary blocks
and
settings and only allow user to run this only shorcut in
desktop.

When using gpedit.msc i blocked all access to HD, to LAN, to
all
menus in explorer, desktop, anyway, i did a very
hard-to-bypass
settings (user can not do ANYTHING), i forgot to make a
shorcut for
gpedit.msc in my admin user just in case i need to make
settings
again, and now i can't even access or display menus or
anything in my
admin user, so the question is......How can I make my way to
run my
gpedit.msc in order to make the settings im missing??? i
don't want
to reinstall windows just because i messed up??

Im sorry if i wasn't clear in my explanation.... any help
would be
greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You might want to try the following. You'll need an XP
installation CD.

Restart your computer and boot from the CD into the Recovery
Console.

To start the computer and use the Recovery Console
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_run_console.mspx?mfr=true

Once you've got the Recovery Console running, use the CD
command to navigate to this location.

C:\Windows\System32\GroupPolicy\User

Use the REN command to rename the registry.pol file in that
folder to registry.old.
Exit the recovery console.

Hopefully, when your computer restarts you'll have restored
access.

Good luck
