gpedit problem

[piaqt]

Dehc: No virtual pc. No domain. I'll try your links. I don't quite get some of what you posted.

All I wanted to know was, what disabled the "add" button, and how do I reverse this? It used to work just fine.

What statement, and in which file, controls this behavior?

I guess you could try to restore the original policy setting.

HOW?

1. You want to avoid policies that "tattoo" the registry.
2. Because of the location this is a "tattoo" policy, meaning you need another policy to take it out, thought removing took it out automatically.
3. Losing the policy won't put things back to normal.
4. Find the place in the registry that the key is saved for you. Then remove it from the group policy. refresh regedit, and see if it removed it. If it didn't, remove it manually (backup first) Reboot.
5. You might want to try first and run a resultant set of policies to see if there is anything wrong.
   Also, policies are text files. If the policy was aplied before SP2, it might be different. Service Packs usually update the policies set. I guess you could try to restore the original policy setting.

1. ? Tattoo?
2. Again: ?
3. Losing? How?
4. How do I remove a key from a policy?
5. You mean set some via gpedit and reboot?

I drilled down through every folder in both user and computer config, checked every admin and IE setting, and have found nothing that would disable the "add button" button.

I know my way around the registry, but policies and permissions (other than setting them through gpedit) are another story. Any and all assistance greatly appreciated, and needed.
