Windows XP - Folder redirection

Folder Redirection does not exist in Local Policy. If one wants to redirect folders without using Active Directory they should investigate redirecting folders by editing the registry at:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User\Shell Folders

Per settare le policy di dominio ecco un articolo interessante:

Per disabilitare invece il comando gpedit.msc in Windows XP:

To Disable Group Policy:
REG add "HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\MMC" /v RestrictToPermittedSnapins /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f


To Enable Group Policy:
REG add "HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\MMC" /v RestrictToPermittedSnapins /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

In Windows Vista



To Disable Group Policy:
REG add "HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\MMC" /v RestrictToPermittedSnapins /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

To Enable Group Policy:
REG add "HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\MMC" /v RestrictToPermittedSnapins /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
