Vista - gpedit.msc missing in Vista Home Premium

04-20-2009

I did a fresh install of 32-bit Vista Home Premium. This time around for
whatever reason, there is no gpedit.msc. I searched the forums and
tutorials and didn't find what I'm looking for, I want to add locations to
the Save In Sidebar. I did this on my last image just fine. I looked for
the registry entry based on a link I found in a forum which goes to Ramesh's
site. I was unable to match up my key/strings with what he was showing.
Please advise and thank you.

Never mind. I didn't see option 3. Please forgive the wasted post.

Well excuse me one more time. I tried option 3 and I still don't have it.
So, please help.

Steve,
gpedit.msc is not part of standard installation of Vista Home Premium.

Gpedit is not included with Vista Home Premium. It's only available in
Vista Business, Ultimate and Enterprise editions.

You know I read that somewhere else. Yet, my previous install of Home
Premium, which I did myself with the same disc, had it. I also used it to
add a folder in the Save In window where it stayed until I reinstalled. I
even saved the instructions I got from Maximum PC so I'd have a future
reference.

Hi Steve--

Could you possibly get it done via this method? I know it references XP,
but as we all know there are many similarities between XP Home and Vista
Home / or Premium so you might give it a shot and please let me know.

Windows XP Home Edition: gpedit.msc (group policy) editing via registry

Good luck,

Try :
At a command prompt type regsvr32 gpedit.dll .

04-20-2009

Thank you for the suggestion. I get an error that says the dll loaded but
the entry-point DIRRegisterServer was not be found. Make sure that
"gpedit.dll" is a valid DLL or OCX file and then try again.
