In case group policies are bothering you and you are an administrator on your local PC you could temporarily remove them:

# Go to C:\Windows\System32
# Remove the folder ~GroupPolicies
# Wait a minute
# Open a command prompt
# Issue the command:
## gpupdate /force
The group policies are now gone for a while, just until the domain policy will put them back in place.
