I need it now
You mean the
GPEDIT command? Sad but true, it's only available for the Ultimate and Pro version (
actually, the Ultimate version benefits from this much ) Home Premium and OEMs don't have this
But if you're looking for a specific command (
best not to mention it here in the Forums ) you may have some luck in the other Tech Forums -- but a bit of warning: some of these articles and forum posts will always warn the user that the alternative way to access GPEDIT may (
or may not ) work, and results
might be unfavorable
Also, careful if you have plans to edit your gear's registry ( some articles offer this as an alternative if GPEDIT is not accessable for Home Premium versions ) -- just like above, if not done with utmost care, may render your gear back for reformatting
Just one more --
be very cautious if an article offers a link that leads to a download, containing a registry change stored in a ZIP -- there's just no telling what it could really do for your gear
If you happen to come across what seemed the be what you're looking for, read the entire article (
including the comments made by it's viewers and posters ) -- don't just get what's written in one article; look for more articles similar in nature and topic before deciding to choose which carries the most weight
