I opened gpedit.msc on a XP Pro (new Dell Optiplex 760 SP3) yesterday to lock it down as it is in a public place. When I drill down to the "Administrative Templates" it does not have the normal "Start Menu \ Desktop \ Control Panel" options to edit. It only has "Windows Media Player" and "Windows Updates" ?
Is this something with SP3...?
Thanks,

CJ- THANK YOU, yes I was shouting! I added/copied from another pc the system.adm and conf.adm to my GP\ADM folder and now all the settings are there. I had done a system restore to the out of box date but it did not help. I was about to FDISK and thought to check this site to see if I had any replies.
CyberSteve, thanks for the tip, from what I can tell the SteadyState is doing the same thing as I do through GPEdit? I also use DeepFreeze on these public pc.
Have A Great Day!

May want to consider Windows "SteadyState" as a lockdown tool for public computers. Have used with great success. |

I would say system.adm, interes.adm and conf.adm are missing in the GPO. Try re-adding them.
FWIW,
EDIT: de-goofing |
