Command Prompt disabled

[Juke]

I can open a dos box using command within "Run"
But when I try and type in a command like 'DIR' I receive the following
message:

The command prompt has been disabled by your administrator.

How can I enable the command prompt?

It's my computer and I'm the administrator.

Thanks
