Hi

If you have access to the computer over a network:

http://groups.google.com/groups?selm...ws.prodigy.com

or alternatively:
http://groups.google.com/groups?selm...TNGP12.phx.gbl


If you have no network access, the procedure in the last link might be
doable with an offline registry editor as well, e.g. this one:

http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/editor.html

Actually I was logged on as administrator when I disabled
everything except internet explorer and netscape nav. I
actually meant to disable these 2 programs and enable
everything else. I did the reverse by using the wrong
security item in group policy editor (mmc.exe)

Actually, Torgeir, if he has access to a working XP machine and an XP CD, Bart's PE is vastly superior for "offline" Registry editing, in my opinion.
