Occasionally you may want to disable policy settings rather than delete the entire Local Group Policy.

Click File and then click Add/Remove Snap-in.

In the Add/Remove Snap-in dialog box, in the Available Snap-ins list box, click Group Policy Object Editor, and then click Add.

To specify Local Computer Policy, click OK and then click Finish. Proceed to Step 7.
-
To specify Local Computer Policy for users or groups, click the Users tab, and select from the following Local Group Policy objects:
- Administrators: Predefined Local Group
Policy that applies to users included in the Administrators
group.
- Non-Administrators: Predefined Local
Group Policy that applies to users not included in the
Administrators group.
- User-Specific: Local Group Policy
objects associated with a specific local user account.
