    Can't find Local Group Policy editor


    I have been trying to open the Local Group Policy editor as I need to check the "Lock pages in memory" option in order for a PS2 emulator to work.

    I can find the file when searching in my computer but when I open it it says it cannot create the MMC span-in. I have tried to add it to the MMC by clicking on file and Add/Remove snap-in, but when that box opens the 'Group Policy Object Editor' doesnt exist on the list of items.

    I am really confused and cant work out why it doesnt seem to exist or work on my computer.

    I am running Windows 7 Home Premium.

    Thanks for your help:)

    win7 home final - no gpedit.msc?
