Group Policy Editor - Change It Through The Registry?
Sep 17, 2005
On WinXP Pro I can access "gpedit.msc" to change the QoS bandwidth to speed up my DSL connection. Unfortunately gpedit is not available on WinXP Home. Is there a way to change it through the registry?
I still cant get it to work. Do you have anymore Ideas. NOTE: in the Enviormental Variables there was no PATH string. Only a PATHEXT one. I did not touch this one. I added a PATH string with the following line %SystemRoot%system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%system32WBEM which I believe is correct. Still no MMC or Group policy editor.
The MMC still gives me the same error. I still cant get into the group policy editor or MMC. I tried yours and wesleys Ideas.
Hello! I am nkraoji I am using Win-XP Professional SP-2.While opening the Group Policy Editor by typing "gpedit.msc" in Run dialog box, immediately a small window titling 'Microsoft Management Console' comes up depicting the following error message : Snap-in failed to initialize:

In Windows 98 I knew the name of the file that was the Policy Editor but I've searched and thought and I can't come up with the name of the file that is the Policy Editor or Group Policy Editor in XP. I know there is one because in Tweak UI, you can go into About>Policy>Run Group Policy Editor. And it runs.
I have a problem when using AD, when I go to edit the default group policy it pops up a box telling me.... " the following entry in the [strings] section is too long and has been truncated
"
There is then a load of texted underneath that relates to the specific string. When you hit the OK button another one appeares and they just keep coming
My company has implemented a group policy that locks Windows after 15 minutes of inactivity. However, i have a system that I only use for monitoriing and I hate having to continue to unlock it. Does anyone know of a way to have a phantom task take place that makes the system think its not idle?
I am trying to link to a printer in my home network, but I do not have access rights to the host computer. I have tried turning off the firewall, editing the registry using "DiableGPO", and various other unsuccessful attempts. The machine I am trying to connect from is a laptop using Windows Vista, and the host computer is a Gateway desktop with Windows XP SP2. The "gpedit.msc" file is not found on the host computer.
I have a home machine, running XP PRO, SP2. I am attempting to set up a small home network for the files transfer wizard and for internet usage. Internet usage was a snap, but I am having issues transferring my old files due to the Windows Firewall being controlled by a Group Policy. I have tried running gpedit and it is not recognized. I have no group policies that I have ever installed, and this is the first time that an ethernet card has ever been installed on this machine. Again, until now, I have not ever even heard of a group policy, let alone created one. It's driving me batty. I have searched all over for a solution, including Microsoft, but to no avail. Can anyone please help me?

I want to know what the best Registry Editor is for Windows XP Pro. I have this annoying site that is redirecting me to porn sites. I wanna know how to get rid of it. I am guessing using a good Registry Editor will do it?
In my Internet Explorer under the view I still see the option for the Roboform toolbar although it is grayed out. I have removed this program, and I thought I got all of the remnants. Should I keep looking for files to delete somewhere, or would I need a registry editor to remove this reference?
Yesterday i was adding some new "keys" on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREClassesDirectoryshell to add the option " open in a new window" while clicking on a folder with the right button.I did something wrong and now when i double click on a folder it can't open and windows "search" appears instead.What can i do to open again folders with the double click?
Should file names in the merge registry entries dialog box look like this? The real path to this file is C:Other FilesRegistry Backups. I've been using the Command Prompt (cmd.exe) recently; could that have anything to do with this? I just can't remember if file names always looked like that.
whenever i try to open regedit (the registery editor) does not stay open. i need to delete lines from it since i have recently had a virus but it will not stay open for me to do so.
I have windows XP Professional on my PC celeron 1.2 ghz, Mercury 810, 256 sd ram. I think my PC is infected with a virus that doesn't let me access Registry Editor, Group Policy Editor, MS-Dos from windows and all those vital tools. As soon as try to access them the system restarts automatically. Moreover, my antivirus program doesn't detect any virus (may be this too is the work of a virus). Has any body any idea what this problem is? Is this the work of a virus? If yes, I would like to know how to detect and eliminate this virus.
there's two ways of achieving this. The easy way: 1. Create a .reg file and name it to whatever you think might fit. (create an empty .txt-file and rename it to whatever.reg) 2. Rightclick it and choose "edit". 3. Paste the following into it:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTDriveshellDefragCommand]@="defrag.exe %1 -f -v" 4. Save and close. 5. Doubleclick it and answer yes/ok to the questions. 6. Rightclick a drive and choose 'Defrag' to defragment it......
For some reason, my user account in Windows XP says that I do not have administrator privileges, even though I am registered as a Administrator. Because of this, i cannot use command prompt, disk defragmenter, and registry editor. I use Windows XP Pro, with SP2.
Start the Registry Editor by clicking Start, Run, and type "regedit" (without quotes). Go to this key:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSession ManagerMemory Management On the right, locate the ClearPageFileAtShutdown value. Right-click the value, select modify, and change the data value of the registry key to 1. If the ClearPageFileAtShutdown value doesn't exist, add it. Right-click the right side of your specified key and add it as a DWORD value. Then change the data value to 1. Restart for your changes to take effect. Note: Your shutdown time may slightly increase.
