Hello... I have a problem with this. i am trying to open Group Policy editor and i cant. i have done it the quick mode and also in administrative tools > edit group policy and it appears this message : ''MMC cannot open the file C:\Windows\System32\gpedit.msc. This may be because the file does not exist, is not an MMC console, or was created by a later version of MMC. this may also be because you do not have sufficiento acces rights to the file'' I am in an administrator account and i have Windows Vista Home Premium .

Any help!

Vista Home editions do not have the Group Policy Editor. I see by your
second post in this thread that you are attempting to turn off System
Restore (why?).

How about posting a third time in this thread, and this time include *all*
the information about your computer and what you are trying to do. Here's
an example of what I'm talking about:

"I have an HP [model#] laptop running Vista Home Premium with no Service
Packs. Since [insert some time frame] it has [insert good description of
the problem]. I noticed this problem after [insert good description of what
changed between the time things worked and the time they didn't]. I have
[name of your antivirus/security programs] and scans showed [result].
Here's what I've already done to troubleshoot [insert that information]."

Then we'll be able to give you the focused help you'd like.

The Home versions of Vista do not have the Policy Editor.
