Hi! I less than proficient with computers and believe I had a virus etc. which was making my computer have pop up messages from Windows. I reinstalled back to ORIGINAL configuration or so I thought by using the system recovery. I have ALSO installed RegCure. My problem now is I have no Control Panel. I can't find it because it evidently tired and left. I also get this message - RESTRICTION - The operation has been CANCELLED due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator. I am the only one who uses this computer so I am the administrator and I don't have a clue what this is or why! I sure could use some help. I appreciate any guidance you can give me.
