Enable Local Users and Groups in Basic Edition? Or Registry Table for it?

Question

I have a Basic version of Windows 8.1 (home version; premium; whatever). I do not have a corporate or business version. I know that Group Policy Editor is just a fancy interface for this Group Policy Registry Table.

However, is there:

A) A Local Users and Groups (lusrgmr) registry table equivalent? B) A registry hack to force enable lusrmgr?

Regarding question B, I tried adding the string Restrict_Run and modifying it between 0 and 1, and no matter what, it just says that Local Users and Groups has been restricted. I add it to HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\MMC{5D6179C8-17EC-11D1-9AA9-00C04FD8FE93}

I tried a DWORD as well, and that won't work. Is there some other string or DWORD that I can put in to force enable it?

Otherwise, a registry table equivalent would be fantastic. I just can't find one.

Answer 1

I figured out how to do it without the snap-in OR the registry. I need to use elevated command prompt, net localgroup ntrights and also setting permissions on the c drive for my newly created group. See here for my more in depth answer.
