Windows 10: Can I somehow export settings from the Settings app, group policy and registry and re-apply...

This is by far the most bothersome thing to do each time I want to try out different builds. I'd love to save myself nearly 20 minutes of clicking.

Choose which folders appear on start Via Group Policy or Registry?

I would like to choose which folders appear on start via group policy, I have been unable to find anything relating to these settings in group policy or in the registry.

Is there something I'm missing in group policy?

If not I can export keys to a reg file to apply them that way. I just need to know where these settings are stored in the registry.

Could anyone help me?

PS: Please don't direct me to the settings app, that won't help me apply settings to a bulk lot of users.

 

Applying group policy settings on standalone Windows 10 PC

I am creating a user account for my daughter and want to restrict access for that account to various tools / programs. I have created a group policy for non-administrators using mmc / group policy object, and have set the 'Prohibit access to Control Panel
and PC settings' within that group to enabled. However, my daughters account still has access to the control panel and settings app, so the group policy is obviously not being applied.

I am using Windows 10 Pro (upgraded from Windows 7 Ultimate), am logged in as the only administrator account, and my computer is a standalone PC not part of a domain.

I would be very grateful for any help in getting the local group policy to apply.

Many thanks in advance

 

Firewall rules applied by Group Policy show as "Extra Registry Setting

Hey Guys

(Group Policy set via Windows Server 2019 (1809 templates installed, Clients are Windows 10 1809)
For any Firewall rules I set via Group Policy, on the client they show as "Extra Registry Settings" in RSOP

Can anyone please confirm if this is correct/ how it should be?

Thanks for any info.
