Deny user from logging on locally whacked ME!
I added my boss' username and password to my server at work so he could use the shared printer. I wanted to remain the only person who can actually login to that machine to use it, so I set the security policy to deny local logon to users (I login w/ administrator).

Anyway, while I was doing that, the menu hung for a bit and crashed. Went back in and the setting stuck, so I thought all was well and rebooted. When I attempted to login, the system very nicely informed me that Administrator no longer has the ability to logon locally! D'oh!
Is there a way to fix this? I have access to WinTernals, but have never used it; could it help?
