Thanks, Anthony, but I am using VISTA Home Premium which does not include the
gpedit.msc program. Only God knows why Microsoft does this, and I have to be
very careful not to criticize Microsoft in any way in this discussion group,

Why?

Are you an employee?

Why?

No, I don't work for the company, heaven forbid. But many of the experts in
this discussion group are MS MVPs, and they don't appreciate negative
comments about their benefactor ("rants" as the complaints are labeled). So I
guess I let the cat out of the bag. I have nothing but utter contempt for
VISTA, and I am not the only one. I suppose I will have to wait for 7 to come
out late this year. It can't be any worse. There is always the Mac option.

Greetings! I am using Windows Vista Home Premium. I recently downloaded an
upgrade that requires me to uninstall a previous version of the program. When
I go to "Control Panel" and click on "Uninstall or Change a Program," I get
this message, which I didn't see a month or so ago:

"Your system administrator has disabled Programs and Features."

Thus, I can't uninstall the program and install the upgrade, which is an
urgent matter. Can any of the Vista experts help me with this problem? Thank
you.

Dear Anthony,

All the icons are listed, but when I click on the "Program and Features"
icon, I get the ominous message: "Your system administrator has disabiled
Programs and Features." I ran a virus check and it came up clean. Thus, I am
unable to uninstall a program from the Control Panel (I didn't try to
uninstall from the program's folder because I want to resolve this problem
first).

Regards,

Rebecca
