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.

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 TechNet Community Support
