I have a computer with XP Home. It was infected by a virus (despite having
the McAfee Security suite).
I have replaced the McAfee with Kaspersky and successfully removed the virus.

However, my Control Panel icon has disappeared and whenever I try to access
Add/Remove Programs from other menus I get the error Operation has been
cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your
system administrator.

I am also unable to access Properties on My Computer and Windows Update fails.

I can access Regedit. Ihave already checked the Policy section of the
registry and cannot find anything amiss.
(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\policies....)

I have Administrative rights.

In safe mode everything has returned to normal when I login as Administrator.
