How To Find Key To Add To Home Group Policy In Registry

Jun 30, 2013

I've looked at the Group Policy Search with Azure, but I don't have a clue as to how to find the correct key to add to the Home Group Policy in the registry. I need to get rid of whatever policy is causing this error message every time I try to install Corel's PaintShop Pro x5 in D:Program Files (x86):

This installation is forbidden by system policy. Contact your system administrator.

This "sounds" like it might be what I need, but I wouldn't dare mess with the registry without being sure.

"Configure software Installation policy processing" Group Policy Search

But whatever I need to use - I would need hand holding on how to use it!

Windows Could Not Connect To Group Policy Service?

Sep 15, 2014

I have relatively new PC with Windows 8.1 but recently I am getting a message on start up that "Windows could not connect to Group Policy service" . This then asks me to look at the Event log. I notice that the Event log has " Special log on " every time I log on . Are theses messages related ? Is this normal ? Have I a bug of some description? I have ran Norton 360 and malwarebytes - nothing reported.

Network / Sharing :: Windows 8.1 Group Policy Permissions - Microsoft Account

Aug 25, 2014

I recently updated two of my computers to Windows 8.1 and One thing that seems to be a public nuisance is having to use a Microsoft Account to have a syncing onedrive folder. This aside I have been trying to get File/Printer Sharing working between a file server and a client.

With my previous W7 setup I would create custom groups for access to certain file sets and it would all go off without a hitch, the same is true with Windows 8.1 and local accounts. The issue comes in when I try to link a MS account to said local account, at this point it seems to ignore the group permissions. Below is a diagram of the setup and the expected/actual results.

Code: = Windows 8.1 File Server =- Added localuser test1- Added user to administrators group- Link test1 to MSAccount- Verified user is still part of administrators group- Give Administrators Read-Write permission and Security on the relevant share and files= Windows 8.1 Client =- Added localuser test1- Added user to administrators group- Link test1 to MSAccount- Verified user is still part of administrators group

With this setup, if I try to write a file to the share in question, I get an access denied, but if I instead explicitly give test1 Read-Write access to the share then the user can write files as expected. If I unlink the MSAccount from the localaccount then the share works as expected with out the user-explicit permissions. Finally, after I have tested the localaccount is working, if I link the accounts back to the Microsoft Account it once again stops working. It seems like MS screwed the pooch on this one and completely broke it's own group policy permission compatibility.

Where Can Find Windows Explorer In Event Viewer

Jan 1, 2014

I started up my computer and Windows explorer randomly froze up and hung. I didnt do anything to provoke it. I just sat here waiting for my computer to boot up.Then when I thought it was finished I opened firefox. Then Windows explorer just freezes completely. I tried doing windows key + r. It opened the run window but it froze. Then I tried moving my mouse on the right to open up the charm bar, ( I think it's called that) to hit settings and then restart. When I clicked settings the whole bar just closed out and would close out every time.

I right clicked on the task bar to try and open task manager. When I clicked on task manager it wouldn't ever open. So I couldn't even shut down properly. I just pushed the power button. Then I turned it on again and the same exact thing happened.So I shut it off again.

Then I turned it back on and went to msconfig before it froze up and I set it to boot into safe mode.Then I got into safe mode and ran a malware bytes scan and an avast scan. Nothing came up on either so I just went back to normal boot. The problem stopped now but I want to know what caused that whole thing to happen because it hasn't happened to me before.So I want to look at event viewer to see if that'll explain it. Where would I find that at in event viewer?

Maintenance :: Windows 8 File Explorer - Cannot Find Item And Similar Prompts

May 18, 2013

Windows 8 FILE EXPLORER has begun prompting me that it "can't find" or items "do not exist" when I try to manipulate the files in any manner. Of course they DO exist and oddly, if I repeat the command, the job gets done.

So...the functions seem to work, but I must repeat them and deal with this pesky prompt.

I am reluctant to use System Restore as I have made some time consuming changes to my OS since this problem started and do no suspect it will be successful.

scannow did not find any errors.

I use Firefox and am 64 bit.

How To Disable GPEdit Policy

Jul 27, 2014

I was playing around trying to get rid of a "Could not reconnect all network drives" error at boot. One I found said to do the following:

Type gpedit.msc on the search box in the menu bar,

1. Select "Windows Settings", then

2. Select "Security Settings", then

3. Select "Local Policies", then

4. Then highlight "Security Options", from there look on the right pane

5. Then select Network security: LAN Manager authentication level and set the drop down menu to "Send LM & NTLM "use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated".

That had no effect for me so I want to Disable the policy but there is no way to do that I can see. I failed to note what it was set to initially so I'm not sure if it was Disabled or not and if not what value it should have. Google tells me the default for Win 7 was Send NTLMv2 responses only so that's what I set it to but I think it was set to Disable.

I just checked Win 8 Pro X86 in a Oracle Virtual Box Client and it's Not Defined. So, how do I make it Not Defined again?

Time Out Controlled By Administration Policy?

Apr 17, 2013

I configured my Windows 8 machines to use my corporate email (which was on premise Exchange 2010). As soon as I did, it would lock me out after X amount of inactivity and require a password upon my return.

I know, security is important... but I work from home, in my own office. I don't have snoops skulking around my desk, so I'd like to make this go away.

1) Where on my server do I smurf that requirement

2) I've removed that account from one of my devices, but the setting is still there, and says it's controlled by administrative policy even still... where can I remove that from this device?

Network / Sharing :: Homegroup Icon Does Not List Other PC In Group

Jun 23, 2013

My main PC is a desktop running Windows 7 and my homegroup was set up on this PC. I have a laptop running Windows 8 and joined the homegroup - seemingly successfully as the control panel indicates that it is in the group.

On the W7 desktop. The homegroup icon lists the laptop and allows me to access the laptop files. The network icon lists both the desktop and the laptop. I could also access the laptop files this way, but do not need to as I can access them via the homegroup icon.

On the Windows 8 laptop. The homegroup icon just lists the laptop user name and then the laptop itself. The desktop is not listed. The network icon lists both the laptop and the desktop. This allows me to access the desktop files, but I would prefer to access them via the the homegroup icon.

Network / Sharing :: Desktop Wallpaper Not Changed On Users - Domain Policy

Nov 17, 2013

In our domain we have a policy to change the wallpaper every month. The change is done from server side. Now wallpaper of most of users is changed but for few it remains the old wallpaper.

For example I have windows 8 and mine is not updated. I also have tried gpupdate /force. No luck.

This issue is only with few systems running windows xp 7 and 8.

These systems only show the last months wallpaper not the one updated.

Also these windows are fully updated as of now.

Security :: Can Change Local Security Policy Entries From RegEdit?

Mar 8, 2014

Which registry settings should I change to set the top two default Windows rules back to 'Unrestricted' ?

I set up some rules in the local security policy some time ago when there was fuss in the news about the cryptolocker virus. They looked a lot like the rules above (I found that screenshot online as I can't take one myself, read on..)

Today I was installing some software that wanted access to the areas I restricted. I temporarily disabled the rules, then re-enabled them. Being a dumbass I also set the top two rules (which are Windows default rules) to Disallowed!

Over the following 10 minutes various aspects of my PC stopped working, telling me that the local security policy prevented access. I couldn't even get into the Control Panel or the Local Security Policy screen to change it back, once I realised what I had done. I rebooted the machine - it won't come back up

I've tried a system restore by booting from the installer on USB (which did not work, it grumbled that it could not restore due a file locked by anti-virus) so I think I've got two options:

Refresh my system using the Windows 8 tools - but I suspect that might leave the LSP rules in place, as it retains my settings & preferences.Hand edit the registry to correct the settings.

Option 2 is looking best, I can get into RegEdit from the recovery console, but I'm not sure what to edit and what to set it to? This is on Windows 8.1 Pro...

Windows 8 Search Cannot Find Any Videos

Dec 16, 2013

I thought that Windows 7 search was bad until I started trying to search for my many videos in my win 8 laptop. I even used KIND:= VIDEOS but the search came up empty???? This frustration never used to happen with win XP. I tried all manner of searches and although I have hundreds of videos still the search could not find a single one. Any third party search that is at least as good as XPs? I often do searches and need to use wildcards because of the plethora of files I have. If possible I would prefer a free search application.

I use the excellent Classic Shell. With my fast booting win 8 (fast booting is the only positive thing about win 8 I have encountered so far).

Windows 8.1 Search Can't Find Files

Dec 7, 2013

I figured out how to search but Windows 8.1 stopped searching for files. I type a word in the window and nothing happens after I hit enter.

I searched the web and suggestions say to use the charms menu but I haven't figured out how to search a thumb drive with the charms menu search.

When I insert a thumbdrive, the window opens and I type in the Search Toshiba (G) box and hit enter and nothing comes up and Windows can't find its own files on a thumb drive but it works on the C drive.

I keep turning on another computer with Windows XP to do searches or I use Windows 7 and I can get around a little.

The screen shots on the internet doesn't seem to work or relate with my system.
