Click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT Go to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Wind ows\System
Look in the right pane for a value called DisableCMD. If present it should
be 0 (zero). If its not, then double click it and set it to 0. If it isn't
there, right click in a blank area of the right pane and select New, DWord
value and name it DisableCMD. Leave the value set at 0. Note, you may
have to create the System subkey as well.
