It is not available to users of Home Premium -- only Business and above. IF you were by some chance to find it in an obscure subfolder of an obscure subfolder of "Windows\System32", opening it would result in a message somewhere along the lines of "This module is not available to users of Vista Home Premium. See the Network Administrator...." "Computer Administrator" no longer means what it used to, apparently.

| Guest | Re: Administrator's privileges Hi Donald Just for information, The MMC tools have never been available on any Home version of Windows. They are primarily a tool for Domain Administrators and these versions cannot join a domain. However, these versions can use registry settings as an alternative to achieve many (but not all) of the options in GPedit or SecPol. -- Ronnie Vernon Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User "Donald L McDaniel" <orthocross@invalid.invalid> wrote in message news:k6tt13t757c62nufghmcqce6cs40qol2j3@4ax.com... > On Sat, 7 Apr 2007 08:54:03 -0700, Charlie Stump <Charlie > Stump@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: > >>My email program tells me I need administrator privileges to set it as >>default. >>When I run gpedit.mcs it tells me that vista can not find it.
