Software restrictions

[Edu-IT]

I can't be the only person to have done this...

 

I was messing about with software restrictions on my PC and mistakenly I've disallowed access to the C:/ rather than the path I wanted to disallow. I can't undo it either because I'm blocked from accessing anything!

 

Can I do undo this or have I well and truly messed up?

is this the local policy or group policy?

[Edu-IT]

Local policy. It's not a networked machine, it's my own.

[FN-GM]

you plonker.

 

can you get into run > gpedit.msc

[Edu-IT]

I know it was a foolish thing to do but it wasn't intentional. Nevertheless I've done it and now I'm kicking myself! I'll try gpedit.msc when I get back to the PC.

 

Edit: This worked. Thanks.

SRP doesn't apply to Safe-Mode does it?

 

I thought by default it didn't affect Local Administrators either...?

[FN-GM]

Your right, but hes changed it

Push out replacement policies using centralised group policy?

I've fixed it now, with the help of FN. Thanks anyway!

I don't think he is on a domain machine.
