Re: Annoying Policy Problem

Interesting that the setting persists in a non domain computer. To delete
all policies in effect you can try this. Go to windows\system32\group
policy\user folder and rename the registry.pol file to registry.old [so that
you still have it if you need to use it again for some reason] and then
reboot the computer. Open Local Security Policy and configure any setting in
user configuration/administrative templates. That should cause a new
registry.pol to be created with no settings defined. You may need to logoff
and then back on or reboot to see it finally work. --- Steve
