accessible after selecitng propeties when after clicking on my computer and
selcting properties. The same message displays when system restore is
selected, ie "System Restore has been turned off by Group Policy. To turn on
System Restore, contact your Domain Administrator."

Hi Alan,

In Regedit highlight My Computer in the left pane and press Ctrl+F and
do a search for DisableConfig and delete it also. It may also be
located in another area in the registry.

Alan,

Meanwhile:

Delete the "DisableSR" value as well.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SystemRestore

Policies - Description:

"DisableSR"
- Determines whether System Restore is turned on or off.

"DisableConfig"
- Allows you to turn off the Configuration Interface for System Restore.
