Has anyone using XP had this problem with Software Restriction Policies?

by computerjesus . Updated 18 years, 3 months ago

PLEASE help if you can…ANYONE!

I have a serious problem with Software Restriction Policies (SAFER) in XP Pro. I am getting the stupid symptom listed at the top of the article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925336. I have tried everything listed there including (1) logging on as the Admin, (2) enabling “Skip Administrators”, (3) deleting the “Safer” key from “HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows”, (4) setting GPM Security Policy Processing so it does not always reapply the “Safer” key after multiple reboots, (5) using ‘GPUPDATE /Force’ command line to refresh policy as needed (ensuring the ‘Safer’ key does not exist after), (6) ensuring XP is all up-to-date, etc!

Is there any way to safely UNREGISTER this annoying functionality altogether or, at least, UNDEFINE the SRP settings in GPEdit.MSC?

Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Collin
