• 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.

  Any ideas? Is this a problem?

  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:

• 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.

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.

• Windows 7 Home Premium equivalent Group Policy Editor

  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.

  Hello

  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
  be able to run. Restrict access to where you put the files.

  Hi, I need to enter in the Group Policy Editor to fix something with my Tablet wacom graphic, but I can't do it. When I finally understood how to reach by searching my computer all, he told me THAT MMC could not create snap-in. How can I fix it

  What edition of Windows 8 do you have?  You must be at least Windows 8 Pro to access the Group Policy Editor.

  What is the thing (description) you want to disable, maybe it is possible via the registry?

  Tell us what you want to disable?  Is this something like that?

• Where is the "local security policy"? Locking password.

  Hi all

  This was the case when I used XP I could the action of what happens when you enter the password to logon incorrectly a number of times.

  The local security policy (LSP), took place in Control Panel under administrative tools.  When I look upward, "what are administrative tools" in the "help and support", Win8 the FSA is mentioned, but in reality he resides in all administrative tools.

  Thus,.

  . The removed LSP Control Panel on purpose; He lives somewhere else?

  . The computer hangs if I get the password too often?

  . If so, how many times.

  . Can I change the number of times?

  (Please give back me my local security policy.)

  Hi Dave,.

  Last reply for today also, as it is quite late for me as well:

  • 21 administrative tools
  • Path to the local security policy is %windir%\system32\secpol.msc

  Admin tools list + secpol path on this screenshot.

  If you have an OEM / no Pro version of Windows 8 I'm afraid... :-(. Yet once again, I'm not sure, but I wouldn't be surprised.
