Windows XP Don’t Want Group Policy Controlling Firewall

by mharkansas . Updated 17 years, 6 months ago

Can someone please help me. Programs were hanging up and “My Computer” was not responding. I found a few Trojans/viruses and renamed/moved them. All of the sudden my Windows Firewall is Controlled by Group Policy and I guess the firewall is turned off.

I’m the only user of my computer but do have two accounts set up, one for each ipod. Not even sure what I have. When computer was new my nephew set it up with Windows XP Pro. He partitioned it with C:\ and D:\ and not sure where he put the Windows files but I find them in C:\ and D:\ so he probably put them in D:\.

Then the C:\ part of partition got ruined in shipping and a now-closed shop installed XP Home in C:\. I paid and have the unopened Windows XP Home but he said he just used my number when he installed it with his disk. I see NT referred to sometimes.

I would like to get help in removing all the accounts (administrator, Michele, white ipod) and just be a one account computer and get rid of this group policy thing. Can anyone help me?

Thanks
Michele
