Hi,

Recently my pc was attacked by hadjajr.ini & some other spywares.
I used to SmitfraudFix to fix these.. & now all the viruses are totally removed from my pc.

But still i dont have any adiministrator rights. i mean i cant change Date/time , cannot change desktop background, cant see Controlpanel in my start menu.

Also when i right click mycomputer & select properties it says… The operation has been cancelled due to restrictions on my computer. please contact your system administrator.

But i have logged as an Administrator. i dont have other user.
can you please help me how to resolve the problem.

Thanking you in advance & also posting Hijackthis log file.

Vaddin

Hi Vaddin,

Let's try this:

Run HijackThis. Hit None of the above, Click Do a System Scan Only. Put a Check in the box on the left side on these:

O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions present
O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel present

Then close all windows except this one and press Fix checked.

See if that gives you admin. rights back and allow you to use CP.

Hi, Thanks for your response. I tried the method but was not possible. Meanwhile i found to the vb file to remove the restrictions on Regedit. & from there i searched nocontrol panel & chenged from 1 to 0 there. This has solved the proble, . Thank you very much for your response. Best regards, Vaddin

Ahh good point the regfix wouldn't work if regedit was disabled too. HJT didn't show that the registry was disabled though so that's interesting. Usually there is an 07 if it's disabled. What did you use to get it back? I am just curious for future reference and always looking for new ideas. So all your problems solved now too?
