I have an old gateway running Windows ME that I have messed up. After being busted for a “Drew Barrymore flashes David Letterman” video vid the documents menu, I decided to install TWEAK UI and eliminate the pesky thing.
I installed and ran Tweak UI, making the necessary tweaks, and a few other that seemed interesting at the time. You don’t learn anything without throwing a few switches, as it were. Well, I managed to throw the switch to the control panel into the “dissappear from earth” position.
Control panel has dissappeared entirely from the Settings menu, my ability to search for anything is disabeled, using START>RUN>”control” or clicking on files wity ther .cpl extension in the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory displays the following message:
“The opperation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system adnministrator”
I really would like to have this particular restriction removed, but TWEAK UI is in the aforementioned errant control panel, and does not respond to a doubleclick in the WINDOWS\SYSTEM folder.
I am comfortable editing the registry, But I just do not know where to edit at.
An extra 250 points if you will avoid preaching about backing up the registry before screwing with it also applies….but go ahead if you wish…..
