Re: Restore default policies

To reset your operating system back to original
installation default security settings.


Instructions:

1. Open the Run box and enter: cmd

2. For XP, type this command:
secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf /db secsetup.sdb /verbose

For Vista, type this command:
secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\inf\defltbase.inf /db defltbase.sdb /verbose

This step-by-step article describes how to set the
security settings in Microsoft Windows XP
Professional and in Windows Vista back to the
default settings for a disaster recovery scenario.
You should should only follow these steps when a
security change has been applied to the computer
that has negative affects and when no backup is
available to restore from. The Secsetup.inf template
does not contain a full copy of the security settings
that are applied during setup.

Re: Restore default policies

This will restore security settings for files and folders too, there isn't a
way to restore only gpedit.msc and secpol.msc defaults?
