1393170 2015-01-27 21:27:00 I notice that in Win7 Home Prem, Local Users & Groups and Local Security Policy are not available. Google told me that they only available in Professional, Ultimate and Enterprise editions.

Is there a registry hack that will make it available in Home Prem edition?

Cheers

1393171 2015-01-27 21:36:00 Never found one, that's why Home is cheaper than professional, doesn't have all the features. Read a while back you can install it though, just have to find the article again. wainuitech (129)
1393172 2015-01-27 21:41:00 Im sure answering that will break the forum rules. Depending on what hack you are after.

There was a simple reg hack for XP, that turned home into pro. But MS arnt totaly stupid & some Winupdates could detect it & mark hacked Windows as ~pirated~ , with the usual anti piracy popups, black desktop, invalid activation messages etc.

Simple answer: Received a call from a friend this morning asking me why he couldn't find those items in the Administrative Tools menu. To satisfy myself I posted this question here as I remember vaguely that it can be achieved through registry hack. We have no intention to convert this Home Prem into Pro or Ultimate.

Thanks wainuitech for the link. :)
