Hi, how can i removed or reset the policy that is currently applied in one of my pc, it's just a local policy which the former system admin sets and one of the restriction is to disable all the items in the desktop. i tried to open the gpedit.msc and set the hide and disable desktop item - i turn it to disable so that the policy will not apply but after i restart the pc the desktop is still disabled. is there a way to disable all the policy running on a pc and set it to default that i can access averything. any idea???

Once a Microsoft GPO is applied the only way to get rid of it is to create a policy that does the opposite. So create a new policy that enables what was disabled.

Isn't Microsoft fun?

Best of luck.
