Change in Registry Using GPO

[Asif Razzaq]

Hi!
I want to change the value of this key through Group
Policy My computer\HKEY_USERS\.Default\Control
Panel\Desktop\SCRNSave.exe. How can I do this.

Hi Asif,

You would have to write a startup script, or use the Policy Maker
Professional - Registry extension. Using PM you would configure the policy:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Control Panel\Desktop\SCRNSave.exe
[type]
[value]

when you configure a HKCU setting in a computer configuration, Policy Maker
targets the default user hive (.Default) as you require. This is all
point-and-click including a regedit tyle registry key/value browser. The
setting will log and report to RSoP, unlike if you set it using a startup
script.

Hopefully this helps!

I have the same question. Cannot this be done through

Comp Config \ Windows Settings \ Security Settings \ Registry ?!

I've tried yet it's not adding the registry key that I added in the GPO
(domain level). I added something under the same section except the FILE
setting to change the security settings for %System Root% and that worked.
