I am trying desperately to disable IE8 InPrivate browser. It seems very illusive thus far as nothing not even these directions work. The obstacle comes with the first step..once I type in ‘gpedit.msc’ i immediately get an error message saying windows cannot find it.
Why is this not working..am I stuck with private mode? argh :/
oh, yeah, I have windows vista
Don’t know if this would apply but when I go into the administrator (me) folder and click templates to get to the group profile page the templates folder denies me access..I am the administrator! I should be able to go anywhere on my own computer. Why is that blocked?? I have no other user accounts and am on the main one.

Thanks!

I am also totally frustrated with this feature. I cannot turn it off no matter what. If I follow the instructions here, IE will no longer open. I am running XPpro and I am on a domain without administrative privileges.

How does the administrator check activity on InPrivate browsing?? Can it be tracked?

Group edit is not available on all Windows software. This would explain your problem getting to gpedit.msc.

Like ‘frustrated’ I too ran into the same problem. Here is what Microsoft website says “The problem is that although you type precisely gpedit.msc, Windows 7 cannot find gpedit.msc. The most likely cause is that you have the Home Premium edition. It’s most disappointing that you only get gpedit.msc in the Ultimate, Professional (old Business) and Enterprise editions, and not in the Windows 7 Home Premium or Basic editions. ” That explains.
