This information is very valuable from time to time, especially when you (as a system admin) are logged into a PC as one of your restricted users, and have to do something as them. (ie. edit the registry, install a program - something that relies on the HKCU etc)
1. Go to run (win + R)
2.Type regedit
3.Navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System]
4.Select and right click Disable GPO , default =0; disable =1
5.Exit your registry; you may need to restart or log out of Windows for the change to take effect.
====
Registry Settings
System Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System]
Value Name: DisableGPO
Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value Data: (0 = default, 1 = disable group policy)
====
Note: This is only a temporary solution, just to disable the gp for getting our work done once you log off and back on, the group policy will refresh itself and any of these changes are lost.
