system restore has been turned off by group policy
That's the error message I get when I try to activate system restore. It
also says "To turn on System Restore, contact your Domain administrator." I have a home network with 2 computers. There is no designation of administrator of the domain, that I know of. I am the administrator of my system. There is no "system restore" option tab under computer properties. This all happened a few days ago, and things were working fine until then. I really dislike not having the system restore option. Can someone please tell me how to get it back? |

Very Welcome snomann. As this issue is showing up lately (reported in the
newsgroup for last five days), i think this may be caused by malware / trojan etc. It's a good idea to do a clean-up.

Hello,
I also had the problem with group policy stopping the system restore and your advice below fixed this but, it appears that all my restore points have vanished except for one and this was taken on the day of the infection. I want to restore to factory settings with ALT F11 but it would appear that this is also being blocked. Can you offer me any advice please?
