I can't access any of my applications, I used my
administrator account in order to permit all other users (non-administrative) to access "Warcraft 3" - since administrative rights are needed to run applications. Not only is the game inaccessible,all other applications and
admin tools are inaccessible, and this is from every accounts including the administrator. I can't even access the administrative tools to undo the change. I forgot what I used, it was either 'Management Console' in the Administrative tools or the group policy snap-in. I accessed it through the help screen. I enabled the option and then added the program to list of
allowable programs. I really don't know how to rectify this, anyone have advice?

Group policy applies restrictions via the registry, when starting in safemode, the registry is not loaded.

start your computer in safe mode (press f8 when computer starts up) start, run, type "mmc", goto file, add/remove snapin, add, group policy, from here disable the option you selected before.
