  • My family in Windows XP system restore is disabled by group policy. The system cannot me to enalbe this function, despite I have a partition of my hard drive to store all backup

    When I open the System Properties dialog box, System Restore is checked, saying: she is disabled by group policy, and the system you cannot activate this option. I got a partition dedicated to my justo of hard disk to store backups and create Points of restoration with a capacity of 10 GB. How can I solve this problem?

    If you see things like this:

    You do not have sufficient security privileges to restore your system.
    The System Restore tab is missing from the my computer properties.
    System Restore has been disabled by group policy.  To turn on system restore, contact your domain administrator.
    The System Restore tab is available, but the turn off System Restore (disabled by Group Policy) box is grayed out.
    The task manager has been disabled by your system administrator.
    The registry editor has been disabled by your system administrator.
    The task manager has been disabled by group policy.
    The registry editor has been disabled by group policy.
    The command prompt has been disabled by your administrator.  Press a key to continue...
    The operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer.  Please contact your system administrator.
    The "Run" option is missing from the start menu.
    The option "Log off."... ' is missing from the Start Menu.

    The usual advice are something in the sense of "something has been disabled in the group policy...". ", and it is probably true that something has been disabled, but you know what something is and what it takes to do about it.

    If you are using XP Home Edition, you will get away with advice to use the Group Policy Editor, because there is no Group Policy Editor in XP Home and that really doesn't tell you where to look in group policy, even if you run the Group Policy Editor.

    You need a complete solution that works for all versions of XP and requires no hunting around in the Group Policy Editor or registry to find where things are that have been disabled.

    Unless you have disabled these things on purpose, chances are good that your system has a malware infection.  The malware knows what tools you use to try to find and remove, for the malware disables the things you are more likely to consume and prevents them from running if you can't find the malware and remove it.

    If your system has this kind of affliction, all malicious software tools you currently use or have used failed to protect your system so that you can expand your horizons malware detection and prevention to prevent these kinds of afflictions in the first place.

    The malware will be happy you trick into thinking that you need to so something drastic to fix your system - as a facility repair, system restore point or a total reinstallation of XP.  This is what it would be like you, but these measures are not necessary.

    You must solve the immediate problem of the tools does not, then scan your system for malware when you are finished.

    No matter what kind of malware you've used analytical tools, they are unlikely to solve this problem, because they cannot tell if the changes made to your system have been on purpose (you or an administrator who makes them) or some malware changed them, so the analysis tools will let these things alone (it's usually a good thing).

    If your system is afflicted in this way, there are probably other things that also do not work - like the Task Manager, the registry, System Restore and command prompt Editor, so fix them all at once even if you have not discovered they are broken again.

    These commands from registry removes the registry entries that are stop opening programs.  Although the registry entries do not exist, these commands are safe to run and will work for all versions of XP.

    Before making any changes to your registry, back up the registry with this free and popular tool:

    http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/ERUNT.html

    Open Notepad to create a new text file:

    Click Start, run and enter in the box:

    notebook

    Click OK to open a new Notepad file.

    Copy and paste the following lines of text into the new Notepad file.

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
    "DisableTaskMgr" = -.
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]

    Save the new text file with extension .reg on your desktop or somewhere you can remember with a name you can remember, something like:

    enableit.reg

    After you save the file, close Notepad.

    Locate the file enableit.reg on your desktop and double-click it.

    Alternatively, you can right-click on the enableit.reg file, choose open with... and select the registry editor.

    Answer in the affirmative to the question... Are you sure you want to add the information in the registry?

    You should then see a message that information has been registered in the register.

    Reboot your system and test.

    You can delete the enableit.reg file when you are finished.

    If the registry editor has also been disabled, we first fix (not a problem).

    Given that your system has or has had an infection, follow up with this:
    Perform scans for malware, and then fix any problems:
    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:
    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
    They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

    For the benefit of Microsoft technical support engineers, here are some ideas offered in the past which does NOT help with this issue:

    Safe Mode boot
    Last good known Configuration startup
    A clean boot
    Sfc/scannow in running (or trying to run)

  • Error: "the system restore is disabled by group policy" when he tried to use the system restore

    Original title: group policy

    When I try to use the system restore, I get "system restore is disabled by group policy. How can I fix this problem?

    Hi bluelilly,

    1. is your computer connected to a domain?
    2. don't you make changes before the show?

    This occurs if the Configuration policy to disable is enabled on your system, either by using Group Policy or through the registry editor. For stand-alone systems Windows Vista, follow these steps:
    Step 1: Using the Group Policy Editor. If your edition of Windows Vista includes the Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) snap-in, follow these steps:
    a. Click Start, type gpedit.msc and press ENTER.
    b. go to the following branch: Computer Configuration | Administrative templates | System | System restore
    c. double click on disable the Configuration and set it to not configured.
    Note: If the above setting is already set to not configured, set it to "Enabled" and click on apply. Return back the setting to not configured, then click on apply, OK.
    d. Quit Group Policy Editor.
    e. restart the computer and check the difference.

    Step 2: Using the registry editor
    a. Click Start, type regedit.exe and press ENTER
    b. navigate to the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-Software-policies-Microsoft-Windows NT------SystemRestore
    (c) in the right pane, delete the value named DisableConfig.
    d. Quit Registry Editor.
    e. restart the computer and check the difference.

    Very important: Modifying the registry incorrectly will cause serious damage to the computer. Back up the registry until you make changes.

  • My bar is more pools of my favorites to get search suggestions. How do I turn it back on?

    I have a huge amount of bookmarks. Usually I start typing in the search bar and it suggests things to my favorites. After the update I could not get my favorites without having to open the window/side of bookmark bar. When I type ' * ' before the question I'm looking because he brings just to the top of the list of bookmarks together in chronological order. My question is: How can I turn that back on? If this is a feature that is no longer available... is there an add-on somewhere? (I've used this feature a little and it has saved me a few extra steps)

    Thank you
    Jay

    Hmm, it should always work. However, the priority may have changed. I noticed history sites seem to come up higher than many favorites.

    To make sure that the bookmarks are always enabled for automatic address entry drop-down bar, could check you the Options (whether):

    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > privacy
    • type or paste Subject: preferences #privacy in the address bar and press enter

    In the section of the bar of address down, please confirm that 'Bookmarks' are always checked.

    I have laptop (hp probook 4520 s), the touchpad does not work. How can I turn it back on it?

    This is a question which would probably respond by HP support, because it isn't really a Windows problem.

    Are you sure that the touchpad is not just turned off? Many laptops have switches, power switch, so you can rest your palm while typing one is not worry by pressing the key.

    Sometimes, there is a button above the key, a key on the Ko, or some have a stain on the pavement you waiting/tap/double tap/etc. to toggle the pad.

    If not, you could try to go on the site of HP and DOWNLOAD/reinstall assistance the SW for the touch pad.

    System Restore does not work on my laptop.
    It did not work because the new toshiba set by phone for me when I bought it.
    But now I formatted it and its not working yet.

    Any help on how to adjust the settings.

    Hello

    It's very easy
    First you should check if the system restore is not disabled on your laptop.
    This can be checked in the control-> system-> System Restore tab panel.

    You have to uncheck the option called turning off the coast of the the system restore on all drives.
    Please check if there is enough free space on the two drives for the files in system restore.
    In the settings you must set the disk space to use to the maximum!

    After restarting again you should start the System Restore tool and should create a system restore point.

    Good luck

  • No System Restore Point, then how to return to a system update before?

    Windows has completed an update and my task bar is back to an older version, changed color and left me with an old start button (grr!), more my Sidebar is now completely opaque, whereas previously it was translucent. For some reason, there is no system restore point to go back to a system update before, and I am not allowed to create a system for yesterday restore point, so, how do I fix these errors?  Obviously these defects are not affecting performance, but given that I'm a bit OCD, they cause some irritation. : O

    Thanks in advance for any help that is to come.

    You need not return to the update to fix that. With the right button of your wallpaper, just go to customize and choose any theme Aero.  Aero is the brand name for the DWM (Desktop Window Manager) technology that powers all the effects of glass and styles.

  • System Restore is disabled

    Is it possible to recover deleted files accidentally while the system restore is turned OFF? I just found out that she has been set in this way.  When I turn it on, the restore points that appears is only recent, that is the time that I just put it to turn on or monitoring.  I thought I could recover the files, the files is very important.  I do not have the backup of it.

    Or maybe is it possible another way to recover one file other than the system restore?

    System Restore cannot restore the data files such as documents, pictures, music, and e-mail.  Its purpose is to restore the Windows system files, program files and registry settings.

    To restore data files, try a program designed for this purpose such as Recuva .

  • All my system restore points are gone, can I get them back? They were here before, I did a restore earlier in the day.

    I have read through many of the issues with my problem similar but found no answers I thought applied to my question.  I use Vista Home Basic and it came on laptop. He began to get a blue screen, the other week that close... I signed on and it allows me to open my Cricket to go online and allows me to open IE and go online - I was for a few hours.  With all the previous still running I went to open AOL and the blue screen appeared again. I started to play and it seems that AOL is the reason.  System Restore fixed.  I could sign and use Cricket, IE and even AOL.  A few weeks later now I am online using IE and I had saved a few sites to my bookmark on the google toolbar.  I kept all the programs like I always do and clicked on AOL and of course, a blue screen and shut down.  I thought I'd make system restore as before... He's fine, but I noticed that when I went to IE my google toolbar was gone and I have several sites needed bookmarks so I played with the tools and disabled my toolbar and it permits etc. nothing helped so I defeated the system restore and signed for IE and google toolbar is back to normal but now AOL is causing the blue screen new.  I decided to try, then uninstall the google toolbar and simply re-install everything when I do a restore to get AOL works or to uninstall AOL and reinstall it again. I opened the system restore and that's when it opened and said there are no restore points on my system and take care to create a manual.  I'm afraid that if I do just that I lose the ability to restore my restore points, if there is a way (which means yes, you can restore the system restore points, but you must do before anything else, as if I created an it would ruin my chance to restore my 'old'?).  In any case, of course, I must have the computer checked as to why the blue screen is arise every few weeks but so far here, I want to do system restore to fix at the moment.  What can I do to get my restore points back?  Thanks in advance!

    Hi Diana,

    Thank you for answering... that's why I'm confused, I know not that restore points deleted as space fills up and also if you turn off your protection system but neither one of these grounds was the case.  I had a lot of space (from the previous use of sys restore, I see how many restore points can accumulate before deletion and it was not nearly that many) and protection of my system is on?  It just happened without reason that's why I was hoping that I could get back them due to abnormal circumstances.  I do not!  I have uninstall AOL completely and when I reinstalled it everything went well up to what he did and he opened up to find my connection type and of course, the blue screen appeared and stop.  Obviously, AOL, but I thought that a new facility would set as I had AOL since I was the new laptop.  I thought that maybe a file was corrupted or something and uninstall and reinstall would work but no luck.  I was going to do a complete reinstallation of my laptop all but before I do, I noticed I never had disks when I bought it, everything was installed (Windows Vista), but they do not include a disc of resettlement.  I don't know if this is how they do it now, or if mine was incomplete, so I guess I'll put hands on MS supports.  Thanks again!

    Hey CinnaBlaze

    you do not have a vista dvd to your computer preinstalled vista laptop has nothing to do with microsoft
