By default, the settings change Local Group Policy Editor
Original title: gpedit.msc
I tried also to install windows media player 10 on my Vista laptop to business. I went into the local Group Policy Editor, gpedit.msc and Expand "Administrative Templates", then expand "Windows components", then expanded "Application compatibility", then I activate what was down there.
I then started my machine and a program called ObjectDock would not work for me... What I want to know is the default settings of what I changed, I can change them back for ObjectDock works again
Hi allenmitchell2006,
Windows media player 11 is already included in Windows Vista and it is not possible to download Windows media player 10 on Vista Business.
In order to solve the problem of the Group Policy Editor, you can try a system restore to a previous point where you have not experienced the problem.
Note: When you perform the system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.
To run the system restore, you can consult the following link:

Where is the local Group Policy Editor?
I had to try a fix for the network icon disappearing in the notification area (shaded in the properties of the taskbar), and he said to go to the Local Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc). I don't seem to have it at all, even by navigating to the directory where it should be located. I gpedit.dll, if.

Impossible to change UAC settings in Local Group Policy Editor
Hello
I use Vista Enterprise and had turned off UAC, because it was blocking everything (like its supposed to). Now UAC turned on. If I turn it off again, when I reboot, it comes back. I don't know what changes it back on. Is there a way to understand what is back on?
Other information that might be useful: I'm an administrator (AFAIK), but some of the security settings are grey. For example, all user account control settings are listed but I can't change them.
Thank you very much for the help.

option to Editor local group policy for the administrator account on Windows 7
I have an administrator account I want to restrict in some respects. I know that this can be done via local group policy. So, I need:
Installation of new programs require an admin password.
Some programs (that I choose) run without admin password.
Held together under one account, without comments, accounts of users or lower privileges.
No idea how to do it?
Hello
Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.
According to the description of the problem you had to restrict access to some programs using the local Group Policy Editor. The Local Group Policy Editor is a snap Microsoft Management Console (MMC) that provides a single user interface through which all the settings of local Group Policy objects can be managed.
I suggest you to return the article mentioned below and see if it helps you to solve the problem.

Hello, I need help with a problem regarding the ability to restrict access to the application to another user on my computer. For some reason any Microsoft does not Group Policy Editor in Windows 7 Home Premium. I need to restrict the access of another user to all .exe files, with the exception of a small list of allowed applications. I would also like to be able to restrict access to control the Panel and all other files and folders. I still need to be able to access all applications and files of my administrator account.

Yes there are other ways around the problem, although the easiest by far would be to
upgrade to Pro and use Group Policy.You may activate just of Panel as needed. for your administrator account.
Or use a file fighting to move or rename the fichiers.cpl you don't want to do

Disable windows defender in group policy
Hello
I want to disable Windows Defender (WD), so it is not incompatible with my Internet security software. I disabled WD "msconfig.exe" and "services". However, on sites on my security software, they also advise to disable WD in "group policy" but unfortunately the instructions appear only in German. As a result, nobody knows what/where is this group policy and how to disable WD it contains?
I hope someone can help.

Add the .jar to the Windows Server 2003 Group Policy
So I have an executable JAR file that is intended to run our ads system employee. It reads the data from a separate txt file and displays it in a JFrame. My goal is to have this launch when you connect to all the computers in the workstation. The program works great! However, I can't start automatically. I added to group policy, as well under Windows Logon and start the system. I added as a .jar, such as a .bat, not even as a shortcut... no dice. Is it possible to get a .jar to run automatically at Windows logon via Group Policy?
Also, I realize that JRE must be installed on all computers in the workstation for the .jar run. This isn't a problem, as many of our programs already require JRE.

In the Group Policy Editor, I clicked on the links. The links are 'policy setting' and 'properties' (as shown in the screenshots). The links turned purple after I clicked on them. It shows not only on the specific links I clicked on. It shows on all the links that have a 'properties' or link "policy setting. Before they were blue. Does anyone know how to restore them back to blue? I tried Group Policy link purple', "how to remove purple link in Group Policy" and expressions similar but have found no relevant results.
