Trying to run "gpedit.msc" on windows 7 to configure a group policy for my Registry, but when I type this command, there is no match for this command. However, the system does open "regedit" when I type this command. Please advise!Thank you!SD

I would suspect this is because you have Windows 7 Starter or Home Premium MCSE, MCSA, MCDST [If this post helps to resolve your issue, please click the "Mark as Answer" or "Helpful" button at the top of this message.

Yes, it is Home Premium. Is that mean I won't be able to runt his command?Thanks!

Yes, it is disappointing that you can only find gpedit.msc in the Ultimate, Professional and Enterprise editions, and not in the Home Premium or Basic editions.

However, the system does open "regedit" when I type this command. Please advise!Thank you!SD HiThe advanced tools for Windows, such as Group Policy have never been included in any Home version of Windows. These tools are mainly used by System Administrators to set policies across networks.It is possible to set most of these policies on a standalone home version of Windows. Most of the group policies are registry based and can be implemented by editing the registry in a home version.Go here and Download: Group Policy Settings Reference for Windows and Windows Server. This document lists all of the group policies and their associated registry settings. You must be familiar with editing the registry and how to back up keys before making any changes.Hope this helps. Thank You for using Windows 7 Ronnie Vernon MVP

Thank you for answering my question, I appreciate that.SDGT

gpedit.msc and regedit commands will not work in Windows 7 Home Edition so better upgrade your system to Windows 7 professional or ultimate or enterprise.
