Well now, gpedit.msc (group policy editor) is not present for Vista home and premium edition. It does exist in Vista Pro (Ultimate, Business and Enterprise editions). You have to manually edit the registry in order to change group policy settings. Microsoft has an Excel spreadsheet that lists all the group policy settings there. Secpol.msc is also not available on Home Basic or Home Premium. The only way around this is to make group policy settings by using the registry editor. Hi experts I have tried hard but I am not able to run gpedit.msc. I am using Vista Home Premium. When I open 'run' and try to run gpedit.msc, it does not seem to be running. I am not sure what way to take in 'REGEDIT'. Thanks in advance.

Hello,
It seems that Windows Vista Home Basic or Premium editions do not have

the same level of Group Policy management that higher version of Vista
or Server 2008 have. There is no gpedit.msc or 'Group Policy Object'
snap in for mmc. Furthermore, it seems they removed those features

entirely and there aren't any options for managing group policy the
traditional way.

I am trying to set up a machine that is not networked (not on a
domain) with a new user and configure that user's privledges on the
machine. This user will run a Kiosk style application so lockdown is
the main goal. I have been able to set this up just fine on high
versions of Vista by creating a new user, setting up a Local Group
Policy Object for this user and the job is done. But I haven't found
the similar way to do this for Vista Home editions. I thought of
editting the registry directly, but I could not figure out how to
simulate a 'Local Group Policy' that effects only my Kiosk user.

If anyone has experience with Local Group Policy on Windows Vista Home
editions as a stand alone PC (not using a Domain) please let me know
what options there are.
