gpedit.msc - HELP!
I made a big boo boo. Enabled "Run only allowed Windows applications" and did NOT think to put both "cmd.exe" and "gdedit.msc" in the list of allowed Windows applications. Now, I cannot open a command prompt to Run "gpedit.msc" nor can I run it from C:\Windows\system32\gpedit.msc. How can I get gpedit.msc up & running to fix this? Where is the file that "holds" the settings? Can it be replaced? I would have to be from Safe Mode Command Prompt.
