"The command prompt has been disabled by your administrator, press any key to continue"

then when i press a key it closes. ive done reasearch online and nothing helps and i really need a command prompt to do something.

You will have to log in to the administrator account on your machine and change permissions for your account.  If this is your home computer, you should have no problem. If it is a work computer, the admin has disabled that function for a reason, and you should not attempt to change it.

i went online to search how to do this and i need the command prompt. and since mine is disabled i cant get into the admin account. is there any other way to do this?

You will have to log in to the admin account at start up.  There is no other way...the admin account is the only one that can make changes to the Group Policy Editor.

Why do you need the command prompt? And is this a work computer?

[bobpickleface]

i need the comand prompt for making a server on a game and this is a home computer.

There really isn't another option for you.  You have to log in to your admin account at start up, and change the permissions on your account, then log off and log back in to your account.

but the unusal thing is that it says my account type is administrator and not a standard account.

How are you trying to create it? Run -> "cmd"?

In some instances in Vista and 7, under Start Search type in CMD, and when it pops up right click and select run as administrator.
