Hello, try what is mentioned in this article: http://escapelogic.com/main/node/2 As registry modifications are involved, backup your system state before proceeding. You can also try to copy group policy settings from another computer. This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.

Hello, you can try to copy and paste the content of %systemroot%\system32\grouppolicy from a computer to another. This technique will not let you copy security policies. AFAIK, you can use secedit.exe to export security settings. This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.
