Group Policy is so powerful that we can easily modify the registry by using Group Policy without having to modify the registry manually. And group policy plays a vital role in maintaining the security of our system. The following is an introduction to group policy techniques.

Windows XP is currently the most widely used operating system, so the bookworm will summarize his experience in using Windows XP in the past few years into a serial. All rules strive to be refined and practical. Today is the delivery of group strategy skills.

Turn off and clear the open file record

Log in with system administrator privileges, click "start" → "run", enter: gpedit.msc, enter to enter "Group Policy", in the "Local computer" policy → user configuration → management template → "start" menu and task bar, double-click "Clear history of recently opened documents on exit" in the right pane, and then select "enabled".

"Group Policy" of powerful Windows XP

Windows XP's configuration tool is quite perfect, it is hidden in your system, but many people do not know it exists. It is called the Local Group Policy Editor, or Gpedit for short. To call the editor, select "start" → "run" menu, type the command: gpedit.msc, you can open the Group Policy Editor, now you can modify many features in Windows XP without the help of the registry to make your system full of personality.

Better grasp the powerful "group policy"

The function of Group Policy is really very powerful. Now many system adjustments can be easily done through it without editing the registry. If you want to know what the system tool can do and the current setting status, you can click "start", enter: gpedit.msc, enter and enter Group Policy, then right-click on each item and select "Export list" from the pop-up menu. Then give it a name and choose to save it in TXT format.

Personalize the start menu and taskbar with Group Policy

In the Local computer Policy, expand the user configuration, Administrative templates, taskbar and start menu branches step by step, and in the right pane, provide policies for the taskbar and start menu. For example, if you think the start menu is too bloated, there is an option to delete the start menu item in the right pane.

Delete and disable desktop-related options

As long as in the Local computer policy, expand the user configuration, Administrative templates, Desktop branch step by step, you can display the appropriate policy options in the right pane. For example: to hide the "network neighbors" and Internet Explorer icons on the desktop, just enable the policy options of "hide the network neighbors icon on the desktop" and "hide the Internet Explorer icon on the desktop" in the right pane; if you hide all icons on the desktop, simply enable "hide and disable all items on the desktop".

If you do not want others to change your computer desktop settings at will, enable the policy option "do not save settings on exit" in the right pane. When this setting is enabled, other users can make some changes to the desktop, but some changes, such as the location of icons and open windows, the location and size of the taskbar, cannot be saved after the user logs out.

Prevent users from using add or remove programs

If you want to prevent other users from installing and uninstalling programs, enable the remove add / remove programs policy option in the right pane of the Local computer Policy, user configuration, Administrative templates, Control Panel branch. Enabling this setting removes add or remove programs from the Control Panel and the add or remove programs item from the menu; this setting does not prevent users from installing or uninstalling programs with other tools and methods.

Set user permissions with Group Policy

When multiple people share a computer, you can use Group Policy to quickly set user permissions and expand the computer configuration, Windows Settings, Security Settings, Local Policy and user Rights assignments branch in the left pane of the editor window. Double-click the user rights that need to be changed. Click add, and then double-click the user account to which you want to assign permissions. Click the OK button twice in a row.

98 access to the XP shared directory was denied

In the local area network, you will encounter the problem that computers with Windows 2000 open a shared directory but computers with Windows 98 cannot access them. At this point, all you have to do is to turn on the GUEST user of Windows 2000. But Windows XP faces this problem again, and the above method is no longer effective. In fact, you still have to open Guest users, run the Group Policy Editor program, in the "Local computer Policy", "computer configuration", "Windows Settings", "Security Settings", "Local Policy", "user Rights assignment", "deny access to this computer", you can see that there are Guest users. If you delete Guest users here, then other computers can view the shared directory of this computer from their network neighbors.

Limit the saving function of IE

When multiple people share a computer, in order to keep the hard disk clean, it is necessary to restrict the use of the browser save function, so how can it be realized? The specific method is: select "user Settings", "Administrative templates", "Windows components" Internet Explorer "browser menu" branch in the "Group Policy" editor, and then enable policy items such as "File menu: disable Save as menu item", "File menu: disable Save as Web menu item", "View menu: disable Source File menu item" and "disable context menu" in the right pane. In addition, if you do not want others to make arbitrary changes to IE browser settings, simply enable the tools menu: disable Internet options policy.
