I have a copy of Vista Business and I have used Gpedit.msc to alter some
settings to my liking. What I would like to know is this: is there an easy
way to backup the local group policy modifications I have made and reapply
them should I ever need to reinstall my operating system?

I have search MS's Technet but I can't seem to find the answer I am looking
for.

And thanks in advance.

I guess you could start by backing up the c:\windows\system32\GroupPolicy
folder.

So, all setting applied by gpedit.msc are kept in the
c:\windows\system32\GroupPolicy folder? Will Vista's new security setup allow
this folder to be restored easily?

Good question. Not much documentation on this subject and this is all I
found so far. But I will keep looking into it because I am interested in it
also.

BTW: Here is a decent link regarding Vista and group policy. I didn't
realize you can have multiple local polices based on users.
