  One last thing to check.

  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

  In the right side window, click on the NoAutoTrayNotify value and select Edit. If there is a '1', replace it with "0".

  Quit the registry editor and Log Off/Log.

• Cannot map drives using Group Policy objects in Vista

  Hi all

  We strive map drives using Group Policy on our image of Vista. (In the past, we have used kixtart, but try to avoid writing scripts).

• I get a msg that says that my firewall is not enabled, when I try and turn it on, it says that my group policy is not allowing me to turn it on. How can I activate some group policy is disabled, so my firewall work?

  I searched around for group policy, but no luck.

  A reinstall is quite often the fastest way to solve a problem.  Your hard drive will be completely erased in the process, it will be necessary to back up your personal files beforehand.  An external USB drive is good for this.  Also, you will need to reinstall all the applications that came with the computer.  If you use the Encrypting File System (EFS), make sure you back up your certificates as well or you will lose access to all your encrypted files - even if saved. (Encrypted files usually appear with names in green).

  A "repair install" which does not erase your drive might also be possible, but if you have installed SP2, SP3, IE7 or IE8 you bought your machine, you should read the following article:

• Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit - cannot do group policy as disabled system restore, but have no way to activate Group Policy.

  Hi, I have Windows Home Premium 64-bit. I want to create a restore point, but I get a message saying that the system restore has been disabled by the administrator of the political group contact domain administrator. I am connected with an administrator account. I have read forums that give instructions to access the system restore options: file or tabs just do not appear and there are some comments saying that the option does not exist in my version. So how the hell do I create a system restore point in Vista Home Premium?

• How to change group policy for the system restore will create restore point

  I recently installed an SSD with windows 7, it's the default OS and hard drive on a system dual boot. I also have my old HHD with windows vista home premium. I had problems using the restore of the system with the SSD drive and read on a forum that the restoration of the system causes problems when it is used on an SSD. I have disable restoring the system to the SSD, but still he had checked to allow restoration on the vista disk and a 500 GB drive, I have use for storage.

  I managed to create a restore point when you are using windows 7 OS, but when I used my vista drive, and wanted to create additional restore points for two HHD disks, it does not allow the creation of restore points by group policy settings. I regularly create restore for the SSD disk and have created one for the HHD Vista since the system restore does not create additional restore points now.

  How can I change my group policy settings to enable restore points to create the disk under Vista. I don't remember changing anything that might have caused it, is there a chance that a horse of Trojan or virus caused this? I have Webroot antivirus and currently aired Kaspersky Anti-virus on Vista drive. I also ran the Microsoft safety scanner in safe mode and normal startup mode, none of the virus scanners have found problems, so I'm pretty sure I don't have a Trojan or a virus.

  To the point, how to make appropriate changes to allow the restoration of the system to work for my two HHD disks.  Better yet is there a way to restore completely all original windows default system settings without having to do a clean reinstall.

  You can provide any help would be greatly appreciated

  Thank you

• Remove group policy that blocks USB

  I have a group policy that is configured to block access to removable devices for all users. There is a group in Active Directory (2008 R2) that users can be put to block access to the policy and a policy that allows the removable devices. When users are in the group, the registry is changed so that they should have access, but when they try to access a CD or USB drive, they get "access denied".

  The policy to block (and allow) access is by using Configuration of user - political - administrative templates - system - removable storage access. I "CD and DVD: deny read access", "CD and DVD: deny write access", "floppy drives: deny read access", "Floppy Drives: deny write access", "removable disks: deny read access ', ' removable disks: deny write access", "all removable storage classes: refuse access to all the", "Ribbon devices: deny Read access", "Ribbon devices: deny Write access", "WPD devices." ": deny Read access ' and ' WPD Devices: deny Write access.

  On the strategy of blocking, all who are set to enabled and the policy to allow it, all are set to disabled. If the user is allowed access after that be denied that they are always refused on their main computer. If they log on another computer, it works.

  Why the police work as it should?
