I need to adjust the settings of group policy

Recently, we received two gift PC running Windows 7 Professional.  Even if I used many versions of Windows for more than 20 years, I'm not a qualified administrator.  The donor said that each had been implemented to limit the ability of users to access all storage devices.  This is required by the policy.  In particular, users are only to be allowed list, read and read and execute permissions of files on the hard drive.

I tested a user account and found to my dismay that users could, in fact, write files on the hard drive.

I also found that the USB drives were not available in my account and the user account.  This is required for users.  However, as an administrator, I need to use these drives from time to time.  I fixed that by editing the registry by changing the value in HK_LOCAL MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSetServices\UsbStor 4-3.  Later, I found I could open gpedit\Local computer local\modeles Templates\All settings and click on all removable storage Classes: deny all access.  The options available were not configured, enabled (selected) and disabled.  I disabled it.  (I know I have to reactivate when I'm finished.)
In addition, I found that the optical drives were inaccessible in my account and the user account.  Again, it is also mandatory for users.  I need to use this disk to install the software.  I went to the register to HK_LOCAL MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSetServices\cdrom and Enum.  Nothing jumped out at me, so I did nothing.  I searched gpedit for setting I could use but found nothing.

I consulted C:/properties/security and found four names or groups, of which two were user names.  Permissions for them are limited to read & execute, list the contents of the folder, and read.  These seem to be default settings.  The permissions system and included all items except special permissions administrators.  All this order seemed to be in.

I clicked on advanced and click on the tabs of the permissions and effective permissions.  A number of line items have been shown.  I decided that I didn't have enough to make changes.

So users are properly restricted from removable media and removable drives but they have rights to write to the hard disk, which they should not.  I am unable to use the optical drive.

Is there a way I can fix it all?

1. is it possible to block and unblock the internal optical drive?

Run gpedit.msc policy editor and check its many options. It is probably one that allows you to do this.

2. is it possible to effectively limit the use of the disc hard as game comes in my post?

The normal operation of Windows requires write access to the hard drive. Without write access, Windows will not work. However, you can set your own permissions to prevent write access to specific folders or folder trees. To access permission settings, right-click a folder, and then click "Properties".

    XP Pro, SP3. I downloaded the free Bullzip pdf printer. Somehow my old printer pdf in my printer disappeared list which I have used for years.

  • I need to adjust the dpi when batch exporting a PDF file in format TIFF, Acrobat Pro

    Hi all

    I have Adobe Acrobat Pro. I use action tool export batch than several (approx. 425 individual pdf) pdf to TIFF format files. My problem is the resulting TIFF images are of low resolution, and I do not know how to set the export settings to get Adobe to export it to 600 dpi or more.

    If I jump the batch and each pdf file manually I can actually adjust the settings to 600 dpi, but I have too many files to do it manually. Also, if I use the feature to "combine files", bring all within a multi-page pdf, then export to TIFF: I can set it to 600 dpi, but then each file exported with a different file name. Example: "MAP5" gets exported as 'Page x of x' so I would rename of 425 files to their original file name.

    Thanks in advance for your time and your help.

    In the category 'Convert to PDF' of preferences, you can specify the resolution.

  • Adobe PDF Reader Plugin DC cannot disable with the ID of Group Policy object class

    Adobe PDF Reader Plugin DC cannot disable with the ID of Group Policy object class

    Our school district recently upgraded to Acrobat Reader DC - in the past, we have disabled the plugin IE via GPO for Internet Explorer - manage ad - ons with the class ID of the ad-on/plugin

    The class ID is the same on computers {CA8A9780-280D-11CF-A24D-444553540000}, and the object GPO is applied and turns off the plugin

    result with the new version - PDF opens in Internet explore - it is a problem for a lot of reason / especially we have many applications that require the full version and we have seen a lot of reports being pulled from IIS based sites that fail to print.

    It works if I disable the GPO and manually disable the plugin.

    That is the question

    Is there a way to disable the ad-on/plugin for IE centrally from an IT management perspective?

    While what you do must have worked, you can try these: create one of the following keys:

    1.

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\15.0\Originals]

    "bBrowserIntegration" = DWORD: 00000000

    2.

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\Settings\ {CA8A9780-280D-1 1See-A24D-444553540000}]

    (just to create the key is sufficient)

  • need to adjust the paper after each print

    I have that 7520 printer all in one for 2 months (new)

    After each impression I have to adjust the paper otherwise, I get the message: no paper

    Make sure your paper guides are tight against the edges of the paper, while paper is loaded in the tray.  There should be little nicks in the status bar to help you confirm that the guides are engaged in the correct position.

    Otherwise if you are referring to the feeder manual adjustment can be the best thing you can do.  AutoDocFeeders are normally not snap and often need to be messed with on many models of printer.  Sometimes a small building of habbit can solve a problem like this.  If this isn't the case, you can try to contact HP support since it is such a new printer.  However, unless you can prove there is a mechanical fault on the tray or feeder, it probably isn't something they can do.

    You don't have something with the message No paper well.  Same as if the guides are disabled the printer should recognize there's paper in a way or another.  Questions guide paper normally takes place at the inadequacy of the size rather than no paper error.

  • Need help with the use of GROUP BY in a select statement UNION

    I am writing a query that allows to combine a legacy system that interfaces it is trial balance in the Oracle of R12 GL.  It was only meant to continue for a month or two, but it is likely to continue for 6 months. Please Auditors Auditors, to provide proof that the system is in balance with Oracle GL.  By my verification requirements, I need to make a full reconciliation from the month of conversion (life in the amount of date), then PTD for each month. 

    The legacy account is placed in attribute1 on the lines of the journals. Uses of the old system balancing segments that are also used on the platform in Oracle for this division, i.e., Procure-to-Pay has been cut over Oracle, but not everything yet.  So, I can't count on the GL_BALANCES table for the info, I get from the JE_LINES.

    My problem is not the only request for the month.  But when I try to combine the queries with a Union, to aggregation of each measurement period in its own column, the group is necessary after each selected instruction rather than allowing me to put at the end of the UNION.  (When I put the group by at the end of the UNION, I have the 'not one group' function)

    So I get duplicate for each month of discrete measure accounts. When I duplicate in my Oracle database accounts, I can't count on the VLOOKUP function in excel to exactly match an account of inheritance.  I know there are more sophisticated ways to provide this output, but I'm hoping to get this info in a simple query.

    Thank you in advance for any advice you can provide

    Example of data output (the goal for me is to get the two rows to appear as one based on common points on the LEGACY_ACCOUNT and the ORACLE ACCOUNT

    The LEGACY ACCOUNT ORACLE ACCOUNT JUN_15 JUL_15 AUG_15 SEP_15 OCT_15 NOV_15 DEC_15
