Hello,
My roomate has been causing problems with my computer, so I intended him to allow access o only what he needed, not knowing I would also be locked out by using gpedit. I apparently did not allow gpedit, I can not run command prompt or open browsers. Currently, I have loaned out my repair disk. How do I fix this problem?

Finally found something on another site. Because I had not enabled viewing hidden files, I couldn't just replace the GroupPolicy folder, but I forgot this command:

%SystemRoot%\System32\GroupPolicy

Opened the folder and deleted all files inside, leaving the folders intact of course, and rebooted. Worked like a charm!
