    Hello, guys.

    You can't open regedit, or you can't open winguides.com?

    Hello. The problem with this is that after I disable regedit by using regedit, then how can I re-enable it? Hehe.

    Anyone knows how to use gpedit? Thanks!

    Export the old values into a .reg file, I don't think you'll be denied to merge the file
