While working on my registry and making some of the noted changes you have listed. I realized that some where along the line I lost the ability to "Display Windows Explorer" by using the key combo of WINDOWS+E. I get a message stating that "This operation has been canceled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your systems administrator."

Can you help me restore the ability of using the WINDOWS+E key combo? I've tried to backtrack and find where I shut it down but can not find when or how this happened.

Thank you,
Jerry

I thought I would answer this one myself, just in case someone else comes across the problem and can't find any help.

After many trial and error attempts. I found that the section in Winguides that shows how to disable the Settings Folders (NoSetFolder) in "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer" doesn't tell you that you will also disable the Explorer HotKey.

PS: Ya might want to add that tidbit to the documentation.

Thanks,
Jerry
