    Control Panel Not found on computer
    Hi, there.
    My computer is running Windows XP Pro.
    When I right click on 'My Computer', select Properties, I got an error message saying that" This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator."
    When I click Start button, Control panel is not found on the list.
    Hope friends out there can help me to solve this problem without formatting my computer.
    Thank you.
