If ur C: drive is FAT32, then u can create a MS DOS bootup flopppy disk, boot from it and access the C: drive files.

U forgot about my favorite "regedit.exe"
U can disable the restriction from Registry Editor

@Vishal, he said he removed the run command and restricted C:
Now how can U access regedit.exe?

 

[Vishal Gupta]

Type "regedit.exe" in addressbar of explorer

 

[Lucky_star]

What does restricted here mean?
Does that mean that one cannot make any changes to the files?
If that's so, then how come changes to the registry be made, as the registry itself resides in the C:

 

[Vishal Gupta]

Restricting C: means, u can't open C: drive from explorer as well as from other methods, like RUN dialog box, etc.
I never tried it but I think "regedit.exe" should open from addressbar.

 

[Pathik]

he can run c/windows/regedit.exe

 

[Ron]

hey frens is there no way to access the data...........

 

[shantanu]

I THINK It CAN BE DONE BY REGISTRY EDITING IF VISHAL HELPS

 

[Vishal Gupta]

1.) Give following command in RUN dialog box:

REG delete HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer /v NoViewOnDrive

2.) Log off and login again.

3.) Now u'll be able to view and open C: Drive

 

[shantanu]

what i said

 

[Ron]

Give following command in RUN dialog box:

hey vishal,
RUN is resctricted.........

 

[Vishal Gupta]

^^
Then type the command in Notepad and save it with "vishal.bat" name (including the quotes) and then run the file.

[Ron]

Hey vishal,
thxs……It worked………....By mistake…… i was applying wrong command....... I had prevented the drives to access it from My Computer…………………….
Anyways...Thxs again.....

& hey Could u pls tell me the format to write the command………..what is the use of /v ?

REG delete HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer [B]/v[/B] NoViewOnDrive

 

[Vishal Gupta]

/v stands for Value, i.e., The value which has to be altered using the REG command.
The syntax is:

REG Operation Key_name /v value_name
