Disable computer configuration settings and user configuration setting

[matthewk]

How is this disabling achieved unattendedly?

Disable Parts of GROUP POLICIES MANAGER - gpedit.msc

This will dramatically speed up the login process - If you don't need to utilize Group Policies on the local machine, you can disable parts of it.

Login as Administrator.

Go to Start/Run type in gpedit.msc and click ok.

Right click on the Local Computer Policy entry and select Properties from the menu that appears.

Add checkmarks to the two options within the Disable section. Close out.

Reboot.

Notice the login access time has decreased dramatically.

Try running this compiled batch file at RunOnceEx or similar, (upon login).

Thanks. The extension was exe rather than bat. It'd be neat to see the source for learning purposes and knowledge of contents.

Basically, all it does is changes two registry keys.

;Disable Computer Configuration settings
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Group Policy\State\Machine\GPO-List\0]
"GPO-Disabled"=dword:00000001

;Disable User Configuration settings
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Group Policy\State\***Your specific SID***\GPO-List\0]
"GPO-Disabled"=dword:00000001

As you can see the only thing that the exe does is try to find the SID, which is why I suggested you would have to do it upon login!
