The command prompt has been disabled by your administrator
Author: ---------------------------------------------------
Especially on schools and offices, often times your local admin might be disallowing users to access the command prompt for security reasons, but given circumstances that we really need to access it, here is some steps on bypassing it..
Method 1: Using the console registry tool
Click Start, Run and type this command exactly as given below: (Copy and paste)
REG add HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System /v DisableCMD /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
Method 2: Edit the registry directly
Open Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) and navigate to:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System]
*
In the right-pane, double-click DisableCMD and set it's data to 0
Method 3: Using Group Policy Editor in Windows XP Professional.
Click Start, Run, type gpedit.msc and click OK.
Navigate to User Configuration \ Administrative Templates \ System
Double-click the Prevent access to the command prompt
You can then disable or set the policy to Not Configured. Disabling or setting this policy to Not Configured should solve the problem.
