By using gpedit.msc i disable regedit tools and set to run some windows based applications, msword, excel. (notepad / administrative tools /regedit / gpedit.msc ) are disabled. when i try to run these applications the error message is "This application has been cancelled due to restriction in effect on this computer Please contact you system administrator" even i log on as administrator. Actually i am trying to put these restrictions on limited user. Plz help me URGENT.

Start gpedit.msc again and navigate to "User Configuration\Administrative Templates\System". Make sure that the policy named "Prevent access to registry editing tools" is set to "Disabled" or "Not configured". This will re-enable the usage of the Registry editor.
The remaining mess (not being able to run Word, Excel, etc.) was probably caused by you fiddling with the policies named "Run only allowed Windows applications" and "Don't run specified Windows applications", located in the same place. Set them to "Not configured" too.

Boy did you screw up! Put your original Windows XP CD in the drive and run the repair function.
