TipHKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\
The Policies\Microsoft subkey stores the entries created when you configure a Group Policy related to a Microsoft product. These entries are created and maintained by Group Policy, and are read and interpreted by the product program.
The Policies\Microsoft subkey in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE stores entries that apply to all users of the computer. The system adds these entries when you enable (and, for some policies, when you disable) a policy in the Computer Configuration folder in Group Policy.
There is also a Policies\Microsoft subkey in HKEY_CURRENT_USER, which stores policy-related entries that are configured separately for each user. The system adds these entries when you enable (and, for some policies, when you disable) a policy in the User Configuration folder in Group Policy.
To add, delete, or change the entries in this subkey, use Group Policy.
