I was changing settings around so that users can only use specific applications; however, I didn't realize that it was going to affect admin rights in the same way.

The error I'm receiving is this:

This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator.

The setting I changed was to limit the user accounts ability to to only allow specific applications to run in the group policy settings.

Local Group Policy Editor -> User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System ->Run Only specified Windows applications

Any help would be nice.

Try this:

  • Press Control-Alt-Delete and select Task Manager.

  • In the File menu, select Run New Task and enter gpedit.msc as the name of the program to run. Make sure you select the "Create this task with administrative privileges" checkbox.

You should then be able to disable the "Run only specified Windows applications" setting and things should be back to normal.
