No programs will run due to security policy.

Some fool was messing around with the administrative settings on their computer and now no program will run regardless of user account privileges due to "disallowed" being the default setting. The fact that some retard at microsoft thought it was a good idea to also disallow access to the administrative settings so it couldn't be changed back has just blown my mind. Does anyone know how to resolve this situation?

I nearly did the same thing on our DC. Gonna need a reinstall

Unless you can get acces to the Local Computer Policy.

Surely there has to be some sort of hack to get access to it. I can't believe that microsoft would effectivley put a self-destruct button in the operating system. It seems like a fantastic target for viruses...

Tried system restore or loading up the secedit.msc snap in during safe mode?

System restore was disabled, what is this "snap-in"?

It's an MMC snap in to edit the local security policy.
