I recently got a nasty virus called OptixPro.12 (actually, it's a backdoor) and it was a bitch.... it ran 2 processes that would start each other up when you killed any one of them individually..

I booted into Console Mode (Win2K) and deleted the files, but I found upon rebooting that I'm no longer allowed to run executables.

...as a workaround, I can do something like 'Open blah.nothing with Mozilla' and it works, but 'c:\Stuff\Mozilla\mozilla.exe' returns 'Cannot file the file...'. Also, right-clicking on 'My Computer' and clicking 'Properties' returns 'Access to the specified device, path, or file is denied'.

...To me, this reeks of a policies issue, but I don't know how to fix it on Win2K...

How do I give myself my permissions back?

I need the Win2K to connect to my school's LAN becuase I don't know how to do it with RedHat/KDE...

How *DO* I connect to a Windows network with RedHat Linux?

hopefully you where not using Administrator as your main user and you can then log in to administrator.. create a new user and move your user to that new user..
else you have to log into safemode and run the policy editor and check your settings.. i cant remember but i think its poledit.
i dont know the exact registry keys that set permissions.. weee.. its been so long since i've used windows..

weeee....
