Hello Juston, and welcome to Seven Forums.

Sorry, but as in the Warning at the top of the tutorial.

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

I'm not sure how to resolve your issue, but you should repost this issue in the Network & Sharing forum to see if you may get a solution hopefully soon.

How can i change the settings in win7 home premium? secpol.msc doesn't work... I know
For example I want to do this:

Hide some accounts using secpol.msc (then "Security Settings | Local Policies | User Rights Assignment | Deny log on locally"), but it is not available for Home Premium.

How to do it on home premium?

Hello Ron,

You could use OPTION TWO in the tutorial below as a guide, but using SeDenyInteractiveLogonRight instead of SeShutdownPrivilege in the command to do so. :)

Shut Down Computer - Allow or Prevent Users and Groups

Shut Down Computer - Allow or Prevent Users and Groups

Local Users and Groups Manager - Open
See the warning..... not available on Home Premium! How do I do that in Home Premium?

Using OPTION TWO with that command instead doesn't involve "Local Users and Groups" or "Local Security Policy", so you can do it in any edition of Windows 7. I did post the wrong link, but it's corrected now.

It's the same principle of changing a Group Policy manually in the registry instead. Just a different way of doing it. :)

Don't know if this is normal or not. But when I go to start menu type in secpol.msc and press enter I get this error message "
An attempt was made to reference a token that does not exist. " But if I type in secpol.msc and right click on the program and choose Run as Administrator it opens up. I have Windows 7 Ultimate and my user name is in the Administrators group.

So you mean using the ntrights.exe?

Code:

ntrights  -U  "User or Group"  +R  SeDenyInteractiveLogonRight

What's an Interactive Logon btw? Is it when you logon interactively on machine, or also using telenet and a Terminal Server logon?

Correct. You would download and use the ntrights.exe file.

"SeDenyInteractiveLogonRight" is just the command it uses to "Deny log on locally".
