System Restore turned off by Group Policy

[briank]

I am working on my cousins computer, trying to get system restore to
turn on. I have set myself up as Administrator, when I go to system
tools, then system restore it tells me, basically that I do not have
authorization to do this. It says it is turned off by group policy and
to contact my group administrator. This computer is a stand alone and
not a network computer. I have no idea of how to find the group
administrator and change these settings. If anyone can help it would be
greatly appreciated. I also scanned the computer for virus and spyware,
I found 166 different viruses/spyware and removed them, could this be
part of the problem?

Also if anyone can tell me how to uninstall Norton Antivirus from
the hard drive?

Hi briank,

Open the registry editor and navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\SystemRestore
In the right-hand pane, look for these values and delete if found:
DisableConfig
DisableSR


For Norton Antivirus removal, have a look here:
