With gpedit.msc I would think.

But instead, just put the following vbscript in a text file with the file
extension .vbs and then run it (double-click on the file):

Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
sRegValue = "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\" _
            & "CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SyncForegroundPolicy"

oShell.RegWrite sRegValue, 1, "REG_DWORD"
MsgBox "Please reboot the computer"
