| | Where is secpol.msc? I'm doing some experimenting with a Vista system and I've come across some more in depth documentation of UAC which explains some expanded configuration options. To get to these options, it says to run the secpol.msc from the run prompt. When i do this, I am informed that said file doesn't exist, and sure enough searches turn up nothing. Are some of the microsoft console items not available in home premium? P. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |
