Unblocking the SET command for Recovery Console
I have been following the guidelines from the Dover Productions site & become stymied on the following:-
START\RUN\secpol.msc (OK)
This produces a Windows cannot find message.
What next, please?

Malcolm

Thanks, rossfingal, but I'm having probs getting to the Local Security Policy. I tried Admin Tools, etc but nothing there! Perhaps for the same reason that DoverProductions advice didn't work initially?
BTW, what's the Security Configuration and Analysis snap-in in MMC? Where find MMC?
I am running XPHome SP2 in Categoty mode but will switch to Classic if that's any help.
The article to which you referred me seems very relevant, but I have trouble getting to the Windows security tools in the first place????
Cheers,
Malcolm

Hi!
Do you have Administrative privileges - are you logged on with them?
Try (Probably under "Classic" - I'm on 2000 at the moment):
Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Local Security Policy

"Yes" re Admin privileges but I can't see Local Security Policy!
This is visible in XP HOME, eh???

Hi!
Just realized you have XP Home edition - I don't think Group Policies work on it -
on XP Pro they do.
Sorry!
I should have asked exactly what OS you have, in the first place.

I think my just-written comment was clipped when I pressed Accept so I'd like to say thanks again here.
I much appreciate you getting me on the right track by sorting out this Home/Pro difference scenario.
Kind regards,
Malcolm
