Local Group Policy Editor - Open

Hello Kyle, and welcome to Seven Forum.

You can create a custom MSC that has both of these added in it instead if you would like to.

Microsoft Mangement Console - Create Custom MSC

Hope this helps,

Hello Fishlove, and welcome to Seven Forums.

I'm afraid not with Group Policy for your edition of Windows 7.

Compare Windows 7 Editions


You can however still do so using the registry. Just post what you would like to do in the appropriate forum section, or look through the tutorials, to get help for how to do so using the registry instead.

Hope this helps some,
Shawn

One thing that may be of interest to those using the Group Policy Editor... instead of uninstalling IE in Windows 7 I figured I'd be smooth and just disallow it in local group policy. Seemed to work fine. Then I installed an application that likes to show its web page after the install. What a surprise when IE popped up with the page!!! Turns out even though I was using "Owner" account in Admin group, "Trusted Installer" out ranks it. So even though I disallowed IE to come up, because it was launched at the tail end of the install by a trusted installer, bingo!! There's IE.

The moral of the story is I uninstalled. Only way to avoid surprises.

Hello Tigpoppa,

The Local Group Policy Editor will only be available in the Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate, and Enterprise editions. You will not have the Local Group Policy Editor available in the Windows 7 Starter, Home Basic, and Home Premium editions.

Just wonder could we "port" (copy) the msc/exe from ultimate version to the home premium version and make it works?

Wont work. But GPeditor is basically just a front for the registry so you can change things directly in the registry. For GPeditor equivalences in the reg, see this.

Got it. Thanks for your help.
I've digged into the registry by searching the xls file!
