I have had Control Panel issue, everytime I tried to
click on it and the restriction pop up window is:
"This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions
in effect on this computer. Please contact your system
adminstrator". Therefore I could Not access to Control
Panel. Even though I've logged on as Administrator and
got into Regedit to Policy, to Gpedit to set Not
Configure (Disabled) but it didn't work, I also tried
it in Safe Mode. I also tried system restore but
somehow this feature's not working either, it couldn't
restore back to any previous restore point. I'm the
only one who's using this laptop. This issue also
prevent me from viewing Adjust Date/Time on Taskbar
and I coudn't click on Add/Remove Program, View System
Information under My Computer. All of these problems
have giving me that same error due to restrictions. I
really need help, I've been trying it for a whole week
now. Does anyone know, please help. I've been skim
through Window XP user guide book, to Microsoft
Website, Dell page, surf the web but I haven't seen a
solution to this issue without considering ReInstall
WindowXP. I just don't want to ReInstall WindowXP. I also used Antivirus
but it showed no virus found, did try go to appwiz.cpl, it's no help.
Thanks all.

= Look in the right pane/window for this "NoControlPanel" either delete it
or make the Data value = 0

Have a look in the Event Viewer for error messages(X) that can shed some
light and post it back in your next post by performing the following and also
the System File Checker (SFC) sfc /scannow:
Open a Notepad, customize or minimize to the taskbar as you will need it
later for this step to copy the error message on it.
Open a run command and type in:
eventvwr.msc click [OK] you will get the Event viewer control Panel.
click on each of these:
Application
System
Security
Look in the right Pane/window for error message with red (X) or Yellow
exclamation mark /!\ , double click each one to get more info about the
causer.
On the Event error properties message you will see:
Up Arrow
Down arrow
Two pages
Click on the two pages to copy the error message then bring up the Notepad
you opened earlier and right click on the first line and select Paste from
the list, this will paste the error message on a Notepad.
Please don't duplicate the error message one of each kind will be sufficient.
