Hi I have created a problem on my PC and now I feel really stupid. I tried to restrict access to certain programs on a recently created standard user account via "gpedit.msc". After completing the list of programs I wanted the particular account to have access to, it has now also applied that to my administrator account. I am using win 7 pro x64.
I cannot access anything except 4 programs that were on the list, everything else I try to do gets denied. I cannot even get back in the group policy editor (gpedit.msc) as I get this error:
"This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please Contact your system administrator."
I am the system admin, I do not get it? I literally cannot do a thing or open a thing. What do i do? I feel so stupid I've basically locked myself out of my own computer. I followed what it said on this link How-To-Geek.
Please help!!
I cannot use notepad or anything of that nature. Gives me the same error "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please Contact your system administrator". However i created the file via Visual Studio as that was one of the applications I left approved. I create the script and cannot run it as i get the same access denied error :( – Sylvoo – 2015-07-24T16:52:17.080
