installing gpedit

Yesterday I bought a new s10 notebook and I always disable the auto-run because most virus today can infiltrate to your system through “autoruns”. When I entered gpedit.msc on the notebook an error prompted that gpedit.msc is not on my system. So I research around the net on how to install it. Its a good thing that I found several resources but sad to say when I navigate to gpedit.msc it was on different language and the policies are incomplete. I can only see the windows media player on system components where the auto-run should be.

I want to share this files and its the one that I have been using and works like charm to my system. It’s on English language and the Group Policies are complete. Below are the steps that you should follow to avoid any errors on your system.

1. download the files here.

2. extract the files on your computer. You should see 2 folders in it. 1 folder is named gpedit files and the other is GroupPolicy.

3. Copy this and paste on Run %SystemRoot%\system32 or you can navigate to c: >> windows >> system 32 with this oath on the address bar C:\WINDOWS\system32.

4. Copy the files inside gpedit files folder and paste in on system32 folder.

5. Copy the GroupPolicy folder and paste it on system32 folder

6. Go to run and type CMD or open the command prompt

7. Enter the following commands on the command prompt one by one:

regsvr32 gpedit.dll
regsvr32 fde.dll
regsvr32 gptext.dll
regsvr32 appmgr.dll
regsvr32 fdeploy.dll

8. Now go to run and type gpedit.msc, you can now set the policy on your windows xp computer.
