Use Regedit to Create LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy
Value
This is an extract from my account of the access denied problem
Type Regedit
in the Search dialog box, right-click the executable and Run as administrator
.
Once Regedit launches navigate to this path:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
For a 32 bit system, create a new DWORD
value called LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy
. For a 64 bit system, make a QWORD
(64-bit) called LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy
.
In either case, set the value to numeric 1
(meaning on), and remember to click OK
.
Usually, the LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy
value gets created before you have a chance to set the data value; no problem, just double-click and modify the data from 0
to 1
.
