Enabling Windows 7 Group Policy Editor

Opening the local group policy editor in Windows 7 is just the same as with Windows XP. It is the same file that gets executed. To launch the group policy editor in Windows 7, click “Start” then in the search box type without quotes “gpedit.msc” then hit Enter. This should bring up the “Group Policy” window. In Windows XP, it’s slightly different.

Since there is no search box, the fastest way of opening it is from the “Run” window. Click “Start”, “Run” then type without quotes “gpedit.msc” then hit Enter. Group Policy is a hierarchical infrastructure that allows an administrator to apply specific settings and configurations for computers and users. It can also be used to define a user, security, and networking policies at the machine level.

It allows administrators to define options to control what users can do on a network like for example what files, folders, and applications they can access. The Group Policy Editor is the tool used to manage the policy settings.
