Microsoft

HKCU\Software\Policies

Description

The Microsoft subkey contains entries that store Group Policy settings for Microsoft products. Group Policy creates and maintains the entries in this subkey.

This stores entries that are configured separately for each user. The system adds these entries when you enable (and, for some policies, when you disable) a policy in the User Configuration folder in Group Policy.

The Microsoft subkey in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE stores entries for policies that apply to all users of the computer. The system adds these entries when you enable (and, for some policies, when you disable) a policy in the Computer Configuration folder in Group Policy.

Change method

To add, remove, or change the entries in this subkey, use Group Policy.
