Do we actually need so many security programs?

[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 781061, member: 32260"] The same is true for any configurator program or even the reg tweaks which can apply Windows policies directly into the Windows Registry. The problem with GPO is that there are many security settings scattered in different places. Many of those settings are prepared for managing local networks. I think that over 90% settings are not required in the home environment, and they are already properly set by default. If the user wants to check the actual setup, that can take a long time, unless he/she remembers exactly where the required settings are located in gpedit. GPO is good for the locked system (little or no changes), but not when the user wants to make quick changes of many policies. [/QUOTE]
