Hello...in XP Home SP2, when I try to use the Windows key+E to bring
up Windows Explorer, I get the following error message:

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

Other logo key combos seem to work ok, like the +R for run. Is there a
registry adjustment I can make that will resolve this? TIA for any
assistance that can be offered!

Hi,

Change the setting here: Start/Run: gpedit

Thanks for the reply...problem is, this is XP Home where gpedit is
unavailable. Where would the registry equivalent be located, maybe I
can adjust the setting there...

Disregard previous message...I got it! Went into the registry under
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Policies/Explorer and
deleted the "NoSetFolders" key, which essentially would be the
equivalent of setting the group policy to Not Configured. After a
reboot, tried again and it worked...thanks for the assist, I wouldn't
have found this without you! :-)
