Hello friends,
I know that many people would be thinking to know how to allow or prevent all users from being able to install a gadget or from adding a user installed gadget to the desktop in Windows 7. By default, user installed gadgets are allowed in Windows 7.
Following are the steps for the same.
- Open the Local Group Policy Editor.
- Click on to User Configuration, Administrative Templates, Windows Components, and Desktop Gadgets.
- Now right click on Turn Off user-installed desktop gadgets and click on Edit.
- To Allow User to Install Gadgets
- Select (dot) either Not Configured or Disabled.
- Go to step 6.
- To Prevent User from Install Gadgets
- Select (dot) Enabled.
- Click on OK.
- Now close the Local Group Policy Editor window.
- Finally restart the computer for changes to get affected.
