Why do people have to make videos for things like this? They could have explained the whole thing in one line, like gpedit.exe A > B > C ...

I would do it myself here, but I can't stand watching or even just scrubbing through the whole video to extract the steps.

Written words are much faster than Youtube videos! Gah!

Here is a good question about disabling anoying things on windows 7. if you look at second 0:32 of your video there is a pop up text that shows when you hover over the folder that says "start menu and taskbar". This is a anoyance all across windows. if you move your cursor over anything it shows you theses stupid pop up text hints. can you please reply to this comment telling me how to stop this. I have windows 7 home premium not Pro edition so no gpedit for me. thanks

I actually think that there are editions of Vista with gpedit in them. Mine is not one of them though.

[YTMrVulcan]

I really believe that we're not talking about the same thing.

hmm it worked for me u need to restart ur pc mind

[YTMrVulcan]

I have deactivated uac but still get pop-up balloons. So, they're not the same.

[YTMrVulcan]

Not possible, because they're not the same.

[defenceplox]

go on command prompt and type in msconfig. go to tools and launch disable uac. works the same

[YTMrVulcan]

Is there a way to do the same, if you don't have gpedit.msc?
