  It sounds as if your PC has been hacked - bad! (Alternatively, according to the)
  How you look at these things).
  You almost certainly have a significant infestation of malicious software, which, even if
  cleaned up, could still accommodate unsuspected backdoors.
   
  My recommendation would be to backup your data on an external drive, and
  which is verified by a decent anti-virus, reformat and reinstall
  the operating system on your system.

  It's too bad the Answers MS deficient of remains of forums in that it does not prompt for any system information when a new question is asked, that's why we don't know anything about your system.

  If that's what you see and you do not have it to yourself, your system is currently or has been infected by malware.

  You can solve the immediate problems, but I would not use system restore to solve any problems your not specified, it (but it's up to you).

  Here are the suggestions that you might see will not work (just so you don't waste your time) and then how actually to solve this problem.

  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 registry editor, System Restore and the command prompt, 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

• System Restore has been disabled by your system administrator

  Problem of administrater

  Hello all, I thought that my problem was a simple one but not so much. I am logged on as administrator Windows 7 Ultimate, I went to restore my system files and is turned off by mistake, while I thought was not a problem, I knew not that it deletes the system restore all files, so here I am again to make it back on and guess what, it is said that the administrator should be informed that they are off their After trying several ways to achieve this, I resorted to no protection on my UAC, it has not helped, tried a new UAC which did not help either, so now I'm on my hands and knees hoping someone out there can help, after such a simple mistake that I was allowed to do because I was Admin , I went to not even be able to system restore back on without contact my administrator! Is any way around this, there must surely be, any help would be greatly apreciated.

• System Restore has been removed and bookmarks and bookmark backups

  Hi, my father-in-law has tried to install a speaker sound systems on his PC and needed to return to a previous configuration using the system restore. He has done this, but lost all its bookmarks firefox during the process.

  I don't know if it is to install the necessary drivers Sonos or restoration that did it, but his last backup of bookmarks is yesterday. He also seems to have lost his browsing history (and I guess, all of its cookies too).

  Is there another way to get back them?

  Thanks in advance...

  Just an update: the driver to install and/or the system restore had Firefox set up a new profile. I was able to restore the bookmarks from the old profile via RDP remote (really desperate Phonecall)

• Restore to a point creation disabled by group policy

  Hello. I am trying to create a restore point but were unable to do so because whenever I go to the system protection tab in the system, the button Properties window that allowed me to create a restore point has been disabled. next to the button's text saying "restore to a point creation disabled by group policy." I have vista home basic so any kind of editor of group policy that is available on vista professional, enterprise or ultimate edition is not available on my computer. I'm running anti-virus, spyware, and malware scans to see what could be the cause. But if the scans show up clean, what steps should I take to correct the problem, if it is available?

  Hi HoodWizard2009,

  If this has not been triggered after executing a tweak utility, so it is advisable to perform a full scan as this can be a work of some malware. Once done, use the registry fix in the link below to remove the SR policy values.
