[Reply or follow-up to this message] re: restoring default group policy on windows 2000 pro Saturday, February 7, 2009 at 10:35 am Posted by mikeherman (3 messages posted) The OS is Windows 2000 pro. I need to give less privileges on the guest account, for example removing the 'run' feature from the 'start' menu. When I was in administrator I created a new mmc for local group policies. As I was disabling things I didn't realize that I was actually disabling them on the administrator account. When I saved the file then pretty much all privileges were gone. I found a file that restores group policy, dcpofix.exe. But that is for domain group policies for windows 2000 server. I need a method that can restore group policies for a PRO machine that is on a workgroup. The only way would be to restore some files or do a registry hack.. but i don't know the procedures. Im trying to avoid a complete reinstall because its time consuming.
