First time posting...I have a big problem. I tweaked a couple of user rights assignments and thought the tweaks were innocuous therefore I didn't write down what I changed. My admin account is now hosed. Here are the symptoms:
1) The taskbar at the bottom of the screen is gone
2) When I do a Ctrl-Alt-Del and click on the User tab, no user is listed as being logged on
3) My network connections are all gone and I can't re-establish them
4) I get an "ICS" error message when trying to access the Windows Firewall
5) I am unable to modify and settings within Local Security Policy, Computer Management, etc. When I double click or right click - Properties, nothing happens.
My limited user accounts seem are experiencing all of the above (some of which is normal, since they are limited user accounts) except #1. They still have the taskbar but obviously I can't make changes to settings from a limited user account.
I remember that I removed the right for anyone to log in through terminal services and also disabled remote desktop and remote assistance. I am pretty sure I removed the Admin group from a user right it needs and that is where my problem is. However, the exact right and how to restore is what I don't know. Help ?!?!?!?
