Problems after using gpedit.msc

[Howard - JC Publishing]

We wanted to block access to web sites from one of our office computers. I
found something in gpedit.msc that enabled me to block a program so I entered
iexplore.exe. That worked but all prgrams are blocked - including gpedit.msc!
Now what?

Thank you.

Time to use System Restore.

With everything blocked, how do I get to System Restore?

You can do a manual System Restore - see here:

Note that you must have done far more in the Policy Editor
than just block access to certain web sites.

I was able to run Restore from the command line in Safe Mode. Everything
works OK now. Perhaps I went to the Run Only program selection in gpedit.msc.

Thank you for your assistance.
