Umm, the best advice that I could give you is this... If you have Windows XP
Professional (I was told it only works in professional), you can click Start,
then Run, type in msconfig.msc and press enter. This is the built-in way of
editing policies. Any changes in the policies are sent to the Registry.
Although the Group Policy editor is apparently only available in
professional, any policy will work on either operating system
(home/professional) and are usually backwards compatible with most other
operating systems. If you do a google search for any particular policy
settings, and download them in .reg (Registry File) format, you can put all
of the files together into one, which can be executed on multiple machines
for easy distribution.
