Security Lock Out 2

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admin (More info?)

Okay so I got that one figured out on my home comp. I now come into work
today and there is a new machine at my desk. So I log in and all of my
personal stuff is there but they have restricted access to saving on the C:
drive and changing wallpaper and what not. Does anyone know how to access
things through regedit to be able to change the permissions settings so I can
make the changes I want?

Ask your IT department. Remember, it's not your computer, it belongs
to your employer. (Anyway, if you can't modify the wallpaper or save
anything to the C: drive, you certainly won't have permissions to edit
the registry.)

Apparently, your IT personnel implemented a Group Policy
security template. You'll need to talk to those folks about
your issue.

Maybe people in the IT department got tired with you screwing around with
the COMPANY computer.
