    Windows XP Media Center Edition SP3 - The title of the thread pretty much sums it up. Screen shot attached to illustrate what's going on. I have researched this online, but all the info is for XP Pro or Vista. When I go to gpedit.msc and navigate to the System Restore settings, it says right there that the setting is for XP Pro only. Any changes I make don't 'stick' and revert back to Not Configured. Any ideas?

    (Yes, there was some malware which has since been removed)

    :-o After re-reading my post above, I see that it might be a bit ambiguous. I'm trying to get System Restore enabled and working as usual. I have no idea how these people got it disabled via a group policy, and it's turning out to be somewhat tricky getting it back.
