Removing Group Policies

[Schlafly]

How do you remove and disable permently or at least temp.
Group Policies from Windows XP. I unable to run mmc also
because of the current policy in place.
Thank you in advanced

For local policy set a Deny on the window32\GroupPolicy folder
for the account to which policy should not be applied. Log off
and then back in with that account.

Sorry if this sounds stupid but specifically how do i set
a deny. On the gpt.ini file?
Thank you

I am assuming that you are unable to run an mmc due to
a restriction being enforced by the local policy.
In the properties of the system32\GroupPolicy folder,
the NTFS permissions are managed on the Security tab.
If you do not have such a tab you will need to use a safe
mode boot, or with Pro you could disable Simple sharing
(at the base of the View tab of Folder Options).
Here one can set a Deny of Full Control for the Administrators
group. When one then logs off and back on as a admin, the
local policies will not be applied to the account. This allows
temporary suspension of the restriction. Then, to remove the
restriction from the policy settings, one next needs to remove
the Deny so that the mmc to edit policy can read/write the policy.
With the Deny remove, edit.
It is not a good idea to permanently prevent policy from being
applied in such fashion.
