windows7_user Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 accidentally changed the restrictions in gpedit.msc to enable listed files. when I restart my computer the admin cannot also open any .exe files. Error says “This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator.”I still open some files like firefox, notepad, wordpad but not the command prompt, .bat files, registry and .msc..I try to run it in safe mode but i cannot access it.Is there any way to reset the gpedit to default by deleting some files in folder?Please help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
