Administrator without Privileges

[Austin Hurst]

I'm running Win 7 ... I am the only account. I am the Administrator. However, when I run cmd.exe it tells me I am not. I have tried right clicking and running as administrator, same problem. I have also tried hunting down the file and doing it there. It is really annoying. Here is a screen shot:

Thank you for your help.

click Start, then Run and paste this into the prompt
REG add HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System /v DisableCMD /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

REG add HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System /v DisableCMD /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

It did not work. I pressed Start+R ... brought up run... pasted in the command... I saw a CMD window flash on my screen but then it went away too quick for me to read it. Still having the same issue.

Rightclick on the cmd.exe. Select Run as Administrator.
EDIT: I see you've already tried this. hmmmm....

can you run regedit? if yes then navigate to HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows
create a new Key called System if one does not exist
then highlight System
then create a new DWORD (32 bit value) named DisableCMD
double click the new entry and set the value to 0

Nope... it says Registry Editing has been disabled by your administrator.

Funny... I never did that. :/

you've been compromised
disconnect your network cable from the computer
save your data that's on the C drive
reinstall windows after deleting the partition it's on

Crap.... I figured this might be the case.

Thanks everyone!
