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

1. Go to C:\Windows\System32
2. Remove the folder ~GroupPolicies
3. Wait a minute
4. Open a command prompt
5. Issue the command:
   1. gpupdate /force

The group policies are now gone for a while, just until the domain policy will put them back in place.
