If you have an xp client then you can run rsop.msc from the client and that will show you all policy settings that are in place on that machine.

You still can use the Resultant Set of Policy snap in. This is a great tool for seeing what policies are applied:

Go to Group Policy.

Go to User Configuration -- WIndows Components-- Windows Explorer -- "Remove Search button from windows explorer"

User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Start Menu and Taskbar -- Remove Search From Start Menu"

Just a note, when using the RSOP it brings up only the specific settings that are applied instead of all the settings in group policy. So it makes it easier instead of searching thru all the settings, you only have to search thru the ones that you have actually applied....usually a lot less :)

An example of what Im looking for here....

Lets say I wanted to TOGLE the getting started welcome screen at log on.

Lets say I cannot find the policy to make said adjutments

the answer in this case would be

User Configuration>Administrator Templates>System> " Don't display the Getting started welcome sreen at log on"

What Im looking for is the LOCATION of t he policy to togel the ability of the user to exploor MyComputer and/or Mapped Drives.

THANK YOU SOO MUCH

I kinda guessed it would be you that would find it.... as your last post was along the lilnes of what I wanted... jut I think I didnt make my self clear on what I was looking for.

The path you gave is that of server 2000 I think not 2003...but it was close enough for me to find it.

Thanks BIG TIME!
