Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium on a TouchScreen that will be in a kiosk in the mall. MMC could not create snap-in for Local Computer Policy. I know this version doesn't have gpedit.msc for the Group Policy, but I need to know how to get
to the local computer policy. I really don't want to use a third-party product.

bliggett,
Windows 7 Home Premium doesn't support Group Policies.
Try to renstall windows 7 Pro, Enterprise or Utimate.
Or try to set the registery keys manualy some of them will work some not ;)
You can find the keys here : http://gps.cloudapp.net/

I already knew that I could install Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate, but I didn't want to chance losing the drivers for the Touchscreen.
I already knew that Home Premium and below don't support the Group Policy Editor.
I was hoping there was a tool out there someone could recommend.
I thought about modifying the registry, but time was of the essence.
I found a workaround by stripping Windows 7 down.
Thanks for your response.

Hi,
The Local Group Policy Editor will only be available in the Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate, and Enterprise editions.
The Local Group Policy Editor feature is not included in the Windows 7 Starter, Home Basic, and Home Premium editions.
There are no tools which are available.Ivan-Liu
