Opening Group Policy

[Guest]

What is the Run command for opening the Group Policy. I know it has something to do with the micrcosoft management console.

Hi

gpedit.msc

As Torgeir stated, its GPEDIT.MSC However, this command only exists in XP Pro, not Home.

I think that editing user policies in XP Home requires a
download/purchase of XP Security Console or edit the
appropriate user's NTUSER.DAT file in registry editor
(assuming that you know about where system/user policies
are stored in the registry), if i'm correct?

You're correct, my Windows XP Security Console was intended for Home users, and Pro users that aren't in a domain environment. Otherwise, you have to make the edits manually, to apply them on a per user basis.
