# Group Policy Objects
|
|
|
|
Since version 0.64, PowerToys is released on GitHub with GroupPolicyObject files. You can check these releases on https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/releases .
|
|
|
|
## How to install
|
|
|
|
### Add the administrative template to an individual computer
|
|
|
|
1. Copy the "PowerToys.admx" file to your Policy Definition template folder. (Example: C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions)
|
|
2. Copy the "PowerToys.adml" file to the matching language folder in your Policy Definition folder. (Example: C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions\en-US)
|
|
|
|
### Add the administrative template to Active Directory
|
|
|
|
1. On a domain controller or workstation with RSAT, go to the **PolicyDefinition** folder (also known as the *Central Store*) on any domain controller for your domain. For older versions of Windows Server, you might need to create the **PolicyDefinition** folder. For more information, see [How to create and manage the Central Store for Group Policy Administrative Templates in Windows](https://support.microsoft.com/help/3087759/how-to-create-and-manage-the-central-store-for-group-policy-administra).
|
|
2. Copy the "PowerToys.admx" file to the PolicyDefinition folder. (Example: %systemroot%\sysvol\domain\policies\PolicyDefinitions)
|
|
3. Copy the "PowerToys.adml" file to the matching language folder in the PolicyDefinition folder. Create the folder if it doesn't already exist. (Example: %systemroot%\sysvol\domain\policies\PolicyDefinitions\EN-US)
|
|
4. If your domain has more than one domain controller, the new ADMX files will be replicated to them at the next domain replication interval.
|
|
|
|
### Scope
|
|
|
|
You will find the policies under "Administrative Templates/Microsoft PowerToys" in both the Computer Configuration and User Configuration folders. If both settings are configured, the setting in Computer Configuration takes precedence over the setting in User Configuration.

### Configure enabled state
|
|
|
|
For each utility shipped with PowerToys, there's a "Configure enabled state" policy, which forces and Enabled state for the utility.
|
|
|
|
If you enable this setting, the utility will be always enabled and the user won't be able to disable it.
|
|
|
|
If you disable this setting, the utility will be always disabled and the user won't be able to enable it.
|
|
|
|
If you don't configure this setting, users are able to disable or enable the utility.
