Default Please. How to do I access group policy on my Vista Premium?


Hello Friends. Please I need help. I've been trying to create a 'restore point' on my vista premium. But I keep getting a message that ''Configuration is disabled by group policy''. Please what's up with group policy and how do I enable this function. So that I can create my restore point and restore whenever I want. Thanks so much in anticipation

Go to Start / Run paste gpedit.msc into it click OK. Then edit if from there.

Be aware it is only available in Win XP Pro, and all versions of Vista other than Home Basic and Home Premium...

Hello thanks. I did as you instructed but still could not locate group policy. What could be the matter and how else can I activate this function?, so I can create a restore point on my system. Thanks
