so good.
do you know how to activate the local group policy editor in the home premium version? I see the dll files but not the .msc.
thanks
neither worked for me.
Windows Server 2008 w latest Updates; 64-bit.
Windows 7 x64 enterprise, group policy edit worked, registry did not. Anybody know how to script local group policy changes?
Same as Ronald. gpedit worked, registry did not.
Regedit works if you change the quotes from ” to ”
“LowRiskFileTypes”=”.exe;.bat;.reg;.vbs;”
“LowRiskFileTypes”=”.exe;.bat;.reg;.vbs;”
Thanks
arrgh sorry this thing displays the wrong quotes even when you type the correct ones.
anyway once youve cut and paste the registry entry above retype the quotes, (shift and 2) and you will see they are different. This then works
Regedit works if you change the quotes from ” to ”
“LowRiskFileTypes”=”.exe;.bat;.reg;.vbs;”
“LowRiskFileTypes”=”.exe;.bat;.reg;.vbs;”
Worked on Server 2008 (64bit) after changing the “curved quotes” to “straight quotes” – just copy into notepad and overwrite every double-quote in the file before saving.
