    You don't remember exactly what you did?

    Group Policy - Apply to a Specific User or Group

    Problem being you have to be administrator.

    Hello wtlc, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    You might see if doing a system restore at boot using a restore point dated before this happened may be able to undo and fix this for you. :)

    Hope this helps,

    remove from domain or:
    1. Hit the start button.
    2. Type-Local Policy
    3. Navigate to Local Policies
    4. Choose Audit, user rights assignments or security options from list.
    5. Remove any annoying policy you have set.

    Last but not least: restore or reformat

    edit: Awe, Brink beat me again!

    I know from my past experiences with Group Policy when I used to monkey around with XP without a system restore or a viable image I always had to reformat and start over. Learn my lesson the hard way. LOL!
