Vista - No Local Security Policy

Hello all,

I noticed that there is no Local Security Policy in Vista Basic Home
edition. So then, how do allow other users of my workgroup to access my
computer without entering a password?

It does appear that granularity is a little lacking here. Either you disable
Password Protected Sharing, and everybody can access everything (as XP Home), or
you enable Password Protected Sharing, and everybody has to enter a password.
Maybe that's why it's called "Password Protected Sharing"?

With XP Home, we used NTRights for some LSP editor substitution.

Can you find the "No blank passwords" rule using NTRights?
