I don't have "User Configuration" in my "Local Group Policy Editor" can you help me? And is there any way to enable this just for admins?

Hello Danny,

You should. Double check to see if you may have just missed it. If you don't, then please post a screenshot of your gpedit.msc window.

In the mean time, you can do OPTION ONE instead to do the same thing.

Hope this helps,
Shawn
