Hi I have xp pro and have tried this and it didn't work for me. It opened a help box with data on secedit but that was it. I checked the command line carefully and don't think I made a mistake. I substitued /C:Windows for the %winddir% was that correct?
Hi,

The command line Sakis posted was correct (copy/paste it to the command
prompt to be sure not to introduce any typing errors).

And it is %windir% and not %winddir%, and I hope you wrote C:\Windows
and not /C:Windows on the command line (and it is no point in
substituting %windir% with the actual path in the command line, using
%windir% will work fine).

More about secedit and it's command line parameters here:

How To Reset Security Settings Back to the Defaults

I think I would have started out with only resetting the security
settings on registry and services by adding this to the command line:

/areas REGKEYS SERVICES

If it still doesn't work (access denied), I would have run it without
the "/areas REGKEYS SERVICES" setting.
