The only versions that have group policy are Windows Vista Business, Windows Vista Professional ,Windows Vista Enterprise, Windows Vista Ultimate, Windows Server “Longhorn”.

Unfortunely if you have Windows Vista home basic or Windows Vista Home premium then you have missed out on the pleasure of accessing your local group policy. Of course they are other ways to change settings that usually were in group policy, however they are all labour intensive.

I have nothing against Vista, however why downgrade a feature that was readily available in the last few additions of Windows XP. Unfortunely if you are a group policy junkie like me, you will just have to upgrade to the next Windows Vista edition that does allow access to gpedit.msc.
