Though I could reach there by Run-gpedit.exe as suggested b
Spack. How to bring that to Start Menu?

Right-click on your taskbar, Properties, Start Menu, Customize,
[X] Display Administrative Tools

I still wonder because I think this is checked by default.

I have got that appearing in All Program, though that is
appearing in Control Panel also.

But, the entries in it are:
- Component Services
- Computer Management
- Data Sources (ODBC)
- Event Viewer
- Local Security Policy
- .Net Configuration
- .net wizard
- Performance
- Services

The above local security policy does not have that windows that
appears from gpedit.exe.


One might also simply start MMC and add the snapin "Group
Policy Object Editor" manually, in terms of creating a
collection of the most relevant snapins.

How to start MMC?

Start, run, "mmc"

got that. thanks.
