Hack to run Group Policy Editor in Windows 8 Home edition.

[anomalyzer]

I have seen numerous instructions on how to run the Group Policy Editor under Windows 8, including one on Toms Hardware site "How Do I Enable the Group Policy Editor in Windows 8?" http://www.tomshardware.com/faq/id-1650667/enable-group-policy-editor-windows.html

They all involve either using MMC snap-in or running gpedit.msc from the Run window. I could not get this to work, tried every back door way I could think of or find. With further searching, finally found comments that this would not work in the Home edition.

Does anyone have a hack for getting this to run in Win8 Home?
Thanks!

Hi
The Local Group Policy Editor is only included in Windows 8 Pro, but not in Windows 8 Home
