When you
cannot get to your run dialog box or your command window it can cause problems
for you. Even to bring your run box back you might need to use regedit or
gpedit.msc. See how
to restore the run command box.
|
The
run window is used to type in commands like cmd for a dos
command window, regedit, to edit the registry, and
gpedit.msc, to edit the group policy. This is where you can change
practically any setting for your computer. Therefore it is important that
you know how to get to regedit and gpedit.msc.
The
first and most obvious way to get to either regedit.exe or gpedit.msc is to
navigate there manually. Yes this means you have to actually find the file
yourself. |

My computer and double click on C: (or where
windows is installed)

In
that folder, amongst all the other files, you will find both regedit.exe
and gpedit.msc icons.

group policy.
The next
way to get to regedit and gpedit.msc when there is no run or command window is a
simple shortcut
-

Task manager by pressing CTRL + ALT + DEL keys on the keyboard.
-
Click
on New task while holding the CTRL key down.

This
will open a dos command window

will appear.
