Hello Customer,

Thank you for posting here.

According to your description, I understand that you want to open security
policy editor console on Vista Home Premium edition. If I have
misunderstood the problem, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Based on my research, we can run command "Secpol.msc" to open security
policy editor console in Vista:

Click Start menu, select Run, in the Run window input "Secpol.msc" (without
quotation marks), click OK. Then you will open security policy editor
console in Vista.

Hope these steps will give you some help.

Thanks and have a nice day!

Best regards,

Terence Liu(MSFT)

Yes, that is what I want. However, when I follow your instructions I get a
message that that file can't be found. I don't know why Microsoft has to
hide these things and can't just add icons or some other way of accessing
them more directly.

Hi,
Home Editions of Windows don't have the Security Policy editor, or Group
Policy Editor. Depending on what you are hoping to achieve, you would have
to use the Registry Editor.

Hello Customer,

Thank you for your kind update. And thanks for Jane's inputs.

Based on my test in my lab test machine, I found that Jane is correct.
There are no security policy editor console in Vista Home Basic and Home
Premium editions. This is by-design.

I understand that this limitation may inconvenience our users and we
apologize for the inconvenience you faced. In our efforts to continue to
improve our products, you are welcome to add your suggestions in
Partnerfeedback newsgroup to make Microsoft products easier and more
powerful to use. Thanks for your understanding.

Submitting suggestions for product enhancement:

Legitimate Wishes fit into the following guidelines:

Enhancement or feature addition to existing Microsoft products
Reproducible problem or bug with current version that needs resolution
Cannot find documentation of feature within the help files
Difficulty using the product
All beta products
Product packaging complaints
Added accessibility feature for a Microsoft product
These can be submitted here:

https://support.microsoft.com/common/survey.aspx?scid=sw;en;1214&showpage=1&
WS=Wish&url=http%3a%2f%2fwww.microsoft.com%2fireland%2fcontact%2f

Additional, we can open security policy editor console in the other Vista
editions thru two methods:
1. Run "Secpol.msc" command.

2. Run the command "gpedit.msc" instead. Then, extend Local Computer
Policy->Computer Configuration->Windows Settings->Security Settings. You
can open security policy editor console here.

Note: Please ensure the user accounts you logon Vista is a of member local
Administrators.

Meanwhile, this is Windows Vista Hardwar Assessment newsgroup, we only
support this tool here:

Windows Vista Hardware Assessment Overview
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/solutionaccelerators/hardwareassessment/wv/
default.mspx

For further question about security policy editor console, I suggest you
repost your issue in vista general newsgroup:
microsoft.public.windows.vista.general

Thanks for your understanding.

Have a nice day.

Best regards,

Terence Liu(MSFT)
