Disabled Command Prompt

In my previous post, I mentioned about tinkered default settings for Folder Options/Task Manager/Registry caused by malware or virus.

In the course of the service, I also found out that another place where the Command Prompt can be disabled is this:

• HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System\DisableCMD

Just delete the DisableCMD key and the problem is fixed. Or, if you want, you can set the DWORD value to 0 to disable the effect (means: you can use the Command Prompt).

The other place where you can change this is from the gpedit.msc command.

• User Configuration > Admin. Templates > System > Prevent access to the command prompt

Delete or unset whatever value that is inside the Prevent access ... entry.

Cheers!
