Group Policy Object Editing



Group Policy Object Editing allows you to have complete control over your computer. 
  • You can make your system look the way you want.
  • Restrict others from using their pen drives without your permission (which helps in preventing your system from virus infections especially if you are staying in a hostel).
  • Hide or restrict specific Drives(C,D...) or block them so that others won't use or view your stuff......
