i have a quite similar problem like rudatdum's... as for my pc,
* i cannot access the RUN command, it says "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator."
* i cannot access the task manager, it says "Task Manager has been disabled by your administrator."
* under the internet options in Internet Explorer, i cannot change the homepage; it's grayed-out...
* several dialog boxes are blank, particularly in:
search, user accounts, windows update, help & support, system restore
* i also cannot open windows media player, it says "An internal application error has occured."
I am the administrator of this pc, i'm using Win XP Pro.. i have an updated avast antivirus, avg anti-spyware and prevx1 malware protection.. after some previous cleaning, i currently did a full system scan and no virus/malware/spywares were detected anymore... but i still have these problems..
here's my hijackthis logfile:

i followed the directions in running SmitfraudFix, and in the middle of its search, a dialog box popped up with this message: Registry editing has been disabled by your administrator. Afterwards, prevx1 prompted if i must run these exe files that tries to run with smitfraudfix... since i was unsure about it, i stopped the smitfraudfix program...
