The local security policy editor allows you to customize and change various security policies on the local machine.
- You will need to be an administrator to open the Local Security Policy Editor.
- The Local Security Group Policy Editor will only be available in the Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate, and Enterprise editions. You will not have the Local Security Policy Editor available in the Windows 7 Starter and Home Premium editions.
There are two very easy ways of opening the Local Security Policy Editor.
1. Open the Start menu, and type secpol.msc in the search line and press Enter.
OR
2. Open the Control Panel and view all the items, and click on the Administrative Tools icon.
A) Close the Control Panel window.
B) Double click on Local Security Policy to open it.
3. If prompted by UAC, click on Yes.
If you did step 2, then you can now close the Administrative Tools window if you like.
4. You can now set and manage the Local Security Policies on your computer to how you want them.
