Answer 2

I am assuming you do not intend to use it for anything illegal, right?

Ok here's an approach.

Download Process Monitor tool: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb896645.aspx

Start ProcMon.exe and make the changes on the needed group policies.

Find the changed registry values in ProcMon so you know which registry values you need to edit with the script/c# code.

Here is a little example of how to edit registry values with c#:

RegistryKey regKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("SOFTWARE\\Policies\\Microsoft\\Windows\\", true);

if (regKey != null)
{
// create a registry subkey
regKey = regKey.CreateSubKey("Appx");
// create a dword
regKey.SetValue("AllowAllTrustedApps", "1", RegistryValueKind.DWord);
regKey.Close();
}
