You do not need to edit any group policies. Read this tutorial and go to the Configure HomeGroup Connections section. How to Customize Network Sharing Settings in Windows 7

Most probably, your computer is set to "Use user accounts and passwords to connect to other computers" instead of letting Windows to manage homegroup connections.
