How to access group policy in windows 8 home premium, not 8.1 to disable snipping tool

how do I access group policy to disable the snipping tool in windows 8 home premium? client has not installed update 8.1. client is trying to save pictures to pictures album, but it also saves a screenshot to the documents folder as well regardless
of what save method is used.
thanks.

You can disable the Snipping Tool by creating the below registry setting
(save as a .REG file)
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\TabletPC]
"DisableSnippingTool"=dword:00000001
ref: http://gpsearch.azurewebsites.net/Default.aspx?PolicyID=2426
I am not aware of any Snipping Tool feature which automatically saves the snip, as a file.
(there are other utilities available which can perform similar functions)

This has apparently resolved the problem with the saving of screenshots based on the customers response. thanks so much.

  • S205 w/ Windows Home Premium not recognizing Integrated WebCam - Windows 7 Drivers?

    I just got an awesome deal on an S205 netbook. Everything is great except that I cannot get the WebCam to work. This is a deal breaker. If I can't figure it out I'll be returning it.
    So far I have tried various things. When I first started this I couldn't figure things out. There was no camera in the Device Manager and nothing obvious on the system (hardware, software) about a camera, except that I can see it, physically on the netbook and know it came with a WebCam. How to use it? Nada. So I went to the Lenovo site & installed a driver and then Skype. The microphone works in Skype, but no picture. Totally black. However, it automatically brings up Lenovo YouCam when you test the video in Skype. So that helped as this software was not recognizing a camera either, so I knew it wasn't just Skype.
    Then I figured out that I needed to hit Fn+Esc to enable the webcam. I thought that was the ticket. However, as soon as I did that I got a message that the USB device was not recognized. I uninstalled the driver and went back to reinstall it to see if that might help, however at this time I realized that the driver's on Lenovo's site for the s205 are for XP not Windows 7. Seriously? Turns out there are two different sites. http://support.lenovo.com and http://consumersupport.lenovo.com The later has the Windows 7 version, the first site lists Xp drivers ... Installed the W7 Driver again, but still not working or recognizing the camera ... Anyway, I am not a techie, but I am pretty decent at figuring stuff out or Googling and researching this stuff online. Or following your directions/suggestions. From my searching so far no one seems to have this exact issue. Most it is either not having software to use the camera or not having it enabled and neither of these are my issue. Any ideas for what my next step should be? Details on my system below. Thanks!
    Lenonvo ideaPad - 11.6" 1366x768 LED; AMD Dual-Core E-350 1.6GHz; 4GB RAM; 500GB HDD; 802.11n; Windows 7 Home Premium; ATI Radeon HD6310M graphics; webcam; 6-cell battery
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I've had some webcam issues, too.
    Sadly, the webcam device ID is not listed in the driver available for download at the support page.
    Thus, installing this driver is pointless.
    Nevertheless, you can force the driver installation and it will work as it should.
    Please have a look at the device manager.
    Double-click the unknown device, go to Details and select the Hardware ID property.
    It should be USB\VID_5986&PID_0292&REV_1403&MI_00
    (In case you got a different VendorID/ProductID, google them. You should quickly find something. Be sure this device is the webcam and not some other device. Otherwise don't continue.)
    Now unpack the driver setup file with 7-zip or WinRaR.
    Back to the Device Manager -> Double-click the device, select the Driver tab, click Update Driver and browse for the extracted folder. You will need the Bison subfolder.
    Good luck.

  • Windows 8 and IE10 and 11 not accepting Proxy Settings via Group Policy from windows server 2003

    Hi
    We are still running Windows Server 2003 with a Win7 and Win8 desktop environment. I can control Win7 IE9 settings,
    But Win8 systems are running IE10. We have an internal proxy server.
    Is there any way to force the proxy settings to the Win8/IE10 or 11 systems .
    i have tried with The IE 10 .adm template and applied gpo,but does not have any proxy settings for ie10 and no changes were applies
    please can anyone help me regarding this
    i want to apply GPO from windows server 2003  to windows 8 ie10/11
    Thanks
    KNC

    Hi,   
    I agree with Zanderol24, we can install RSAT on a windows8 client, and then we can use Group Policy Management to manage group policy from the client.
    For more information about RSAT, we can refer to the following link:
    Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) for Windows Client and Windows Server (dsforum2wiki)
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/2202.remote-server-administration-tools-rsat-for-windows-client-and-windows-server-dsforum2wiki.aspx
    For more detailed information about how to use GPP to configure the proxy setting for ie10 and ie11, we can refer to the following link:
    How to configure Group Policy Preference settings for Internet Explorer 11 in Windows 8.1 or Windows Server 2012 R2
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2898604
    When we use GPPs you need to be aware of the F5-F8 keys:

    Besides, aside from using group policy to manage IE, IEAK can also be used to do this.
    For IEAK, the following article can be referred to for more information.

  • Import Windows XP Group Policy into Windows 7?

    Is it possible to import a Windows XP Group Policy into Windows 7? It seems ZCM will not let you edit the XP policy from Windows 7 even though you can apply the policy to a Windows 7 Workstation and have the policy applied without issue. I'm still researching it, but the search terms return many Active Directory results.
    ZCM 10.3.3 on Linux. and eDirectory only.

  • How do I re install windows home premium OA?

    I had windows home premium OA on my computer , but I believe it was accidentally uninstalled from my hard drive.  I have the product key that is on my computer.  I was having trouble finding the correct link to reinstall it on my lap top. 
    When I went to the microsoft Website all I found was support for windows 8 .  Can you give help me with the proper link? thank you

    Please provide the manufacturer and model of your pc.
    It is possible you have a hidden recovery partition on your hard drive which may be used instead of a recovery disk to restore your system (and Windows) to factory defaults.
    Recovery procedures vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.
    You should also search for any recovery disk/s that were supplied with your pc. Manufacturers invariably charge a significant fee to supply replacements.
    If you decide to use borrowed/downloaded media to reinstall Windows on an OEM pc, the process may not be straightforward. Without some experience and patience you may end up with no other option than to pay a professional to finish the job.
    Microsoft does not publicly provide download links for Windows. While you may stumble upon an official download source, beware that many unofficial sources will come pre-loaded with viruses, trojans etc.

    Programs that support 64-bit Vista (few are being updated or written for Pro) show better performance - cleaning up code base and adding features, that you won't find in 32-bit.

  • How do I setup Active Directory and Group Policy on Windows Server 2012?

    I work for a school district that uses a Windows 2012 server with about 400 Windows 7 PCs and 150 Mac PCs. We are set up with Roaming Profiles on the PCs and would like to be able to setup Active Directory, Group Policy, and Roaming Profiles on our macs. (We also have a mac server that they are using as a file server only) As we are a school, our funds are very low. Now for the questions...
    Is there a software that allow us to accomplish this?
    Is there a free solution or a very reduced price option to do this?
    I heard that http://www.centrify.com/products/mac-edition.asp may accomplish this and I read something about it on here but didn't know if this is what I was really trying to do becuase it was marked as "The Golden Triangle" and did not mention Raoming Profiles. This is the link though: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17200059#17200059
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The above reply does not take into account that I am trying to use GROUP POLICY EDITOR to make it the default browser.

  • Group Policy Guru? Group Policy and Windows 7 erratic and inconsistant.

    (*If you don't feel like reading everything, skip to the bottom two paragraphs for my questions)
    I've had a premier call open with MS since August. This week I had a Microsoft Technician in-house.  Though we eliminated some possibilities, we're not really closer to a cause or solution.
    Every time we work with an expert, I get a different explanation to describe the situation we are viewing.
    Quick summery of the issue:  We've been using Group Policy to manage most Windows XP and 7 settings for years, but starting the middle of last year, we began having clients with machines where some or all group policies would fail to apply. 
    These could be long assigned policies, new polices, or changes to policies.  It would never affect everyone or even a majority at once, and the resolution is never the same.  Sometimes a GPUDPATE /FORCE sometimes fixed automajically the next day,
    sometimes (but very rarely) longer.
    Troubleshooting History:
    What we found in early troubleshooting, that these machines, had errors in Event Viewer for Netlogon, Time-Sync, and Group Policy.  The other issue we noticed, was that our GPRESULT /H reports were missing security groups and the denied section was
    nothing but SSID's.  The first issue pointed me to:
    Event ID 5719 and event ID 1129 may be logged when a non-Microsoft DHCP Relay Agent is used
    I installed these Hot Fixes.  No change to any of the errors in event viewer, or to our Group Policy problems.
    Initial work with Premier Support found that Netlogon, Time-Sync, and Group Policy, were failing before loading of the network stack.  The suggestion was to apply the group policy setting "Always wait for the network at computer startup and
    logon".  At the time, this seemed not to work.  The policy was set on a test bed of laptops and desktops, and no changes in behavior were seen after 3 days.
    Windows 7 Clients intermittently fail to apply group policy at startup
    For some time after this, we were collecting GPSVC and NetTrace logs for Premeir Support, trying to document and troubleshoot the problem.  Eventually we got fed up and asked our TAM to call in a pro to get this resolved.  We were sent an engineer
    for 3 days.  For three days we banged away on this issue.  We verified AD and replication health, we tried numerous fixes and workarounds.  I learned 3 different desriptions of how Group Policy works, and in the end we thought we had a workaround
    using the "Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon" because of a single success late in the day.  On day 3 we tried replicating this fix, and quickly realized that the same issue we were having preventing other GPOs to apply,
    were also preventing our "fix" GPO from applying.  So we went the route of using a registry entry.  I also had a problem that even though it was making the process more consistant, it was still taking 3 reboots for a Computer Policy, assigned
    to a computer object via Security Group, to fully take affect on a computer.
    I used the registry methods in the above article.  It didn't work, no sign it was having the same affect the GPO had had.
    Our support engineer claimed this was the proper method, but that path wasn't even close in a Windows 7 SP1 registry, and after creating all the keys that were not present, it still didn't work.
    Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon - AzureWeb
    We ran out of time, our engineer returned home.
    I can understand how these errors indicate a problem applying Group Policy at boot.  But to me it doesn't explain why it doesn't correct post boot, and after a GPUDPATE /FORCE and a reboot.
    It also doesn't explain why we were working fine for years, then all of a sudden DHCP is being outrun by background services.  (By the way logging showed DHCP wasn't significantly delayed, out boot process was actually excellent, health wise.) 
    Why all of a sudden is this not behaving optimly?  No changes to network design or function.  No changes to the domain since 2008 R2 was installed in 2011.
    Today I'm reading through all these KB's and articles again, and took some time to read:
    [Forum FAQ] Common steps to start troubleshooting Group Policy
    application and it's links below.
    We ran though all of that before and during the 3-day onsite.  It's not getting us any closer to the cause or a solution.
    I found and begin some deep reading in this link today.  It has some additional information I will try to use next week:
    Group Policy Basics - Part 3: How Clients Process GPOs
    The one unanswered question I have is this.  How is group policy supposed to apply to a computer, when that policy is applied to a AD Security Group, in which the computer object is a member?
    Before we began having this problem, we would assign a computer GPO, then ask the user to reboot.  If it were a user GPO, we'd ask the user to log off, or reboot.  Either way, if we allowed a few minutes for AD and FRS replication, the user would
    log back in with that new policy in affect.  A new imaged machine would boot with all the GPO's linked to that domain and assigned to "Authenticated Users", already in affect.  Admin groups would be present in administrators, proxy settings
    would be set in Internet Explorer, etc.
    Now I'm aked to beleive this was never the case from Premeier Support and Microsoft Engineers.  That those policies require the equilent of a "GPUPDATE /FORCE" that was executed by the Local_System account.  That 3 reboots may
    be nessessary for a group policy to be applied.  One for the AD Security Group to be applied.  One for the Computer Policy to be applied.  And a final one for the policy in the GPO to be applied to Windows.
    Can someone confirm or correct this information please?  It's imperitive to my troubleshootng.
    There's no place like 127.0.0.1

    That key is empty on all of my machines I have checked today.  Working and problematic alike.
    GPRESULT logs, when ran as me, historically would show the group polices applied, denied, and the AD group membership all by name.  About 6 months ago I noticed this changed.
    Now they show the applied GPO's by name, a few of the denied GPO's by name, most by SID, and only 2 to 3 AD groups, though PowerShell shows all the AD groups assigned.  This happens after several AD security and distribution groups are added to the
    machine (Radia software distribution uses Dist groups to assign software).
    A check showed no groups with long legacy Kerberos keys.
    When we make a change to AD Security Group membership, to assign or deny a Group Policy, is usually when we encounter this problem.  It will usually fix itself in 24 hours of the machine being left up and running.  But no amount of GPUPDATE /FORCE
    and rebooting will cause the changes to take affect.
    During this time, the Group Policies will show assigned to the computer in the GPRESULT log.
    Yesterday I began looking into Spanning Tree configuration on our network being a possible cause for the boot up issues.  I'm waiting on responses from our Network group to confirm our configuration.
    There's no place like 127.0.0.1

  • Group Policy and Windows 8.1 questions

    I have a few group policy questions. Thanks in advance for taking a look.
    I’ve downloaded the Win 8.1/Server 2012 ADMX files. They look to  be the same file names as the Win 7 ADMX files. Can I copy them into the  PolicyDefinitions folder and still be able create GPOs for either win 7 or Win  8?
    If we use a windows 8.1 client with the GPO mmc to create the GPOs (instead of putting the ADMX files on the servers), will the GPO built from the win 8.1 client apply correctly even though its coming down from a DC that doesn’t have those ADMX files?
    Does it make a difference if the win 8.1 client we use to create/edit the GPOs is x64 or x86?
    We recently needed to add in an admx file for Lync 2013. I put the lync.admx file in the PolicyDefinitions folder on one DC. If we build the GPO from that server, when it replicates out to all the other DCs, does it matter that they don’t have that particular
    ADMX file for lync?
    How do we organize and structure our ADMX files wherever they end up so that we know which sets are for which operating system? Should we be thinking about deleting the Win 7 ADMX files when the point comes in the future that we are using only Windows 8
    and Windows 9?
    We are at AD functional level 2003. Do we need to go up in level for any of this to work?

    If you have a central store for your ADMX, it will automatically
    replicate through all DCs. If not, "2." applies anyway.

    If you use a central store, update it as required. If not, do nothing
    and use a client with the OS version you want to target.

    AD level doesn't matter in any aspect. Schema version matters (Bitlocker
    and Wireless, eg...), but you can update the Schema easily to 2012 and
    have your DCs still run Server 2003.
