First check to see if it is in c:\windows\system32

Do you have XP Home?

These two items do not come with XP Home edition:
gpedit.msc = Group Policy
secpol.msc = Local Security Settings

They only come with XP Pro.

Secedit.exe is a command-line version of the Security Configuration and
Analysis snap-in.

I think that secedit.exe comes with XP Home, I have no idea why.

Does secedit /? typed in a command prompt bring up Automating security
configuration tasks page?

This page...
Paste the following line into Start | Run and click OK...

hh secedit.chm::/sag_SECedittopnode.htm

To add items to the console tree, you can use the Add/Remove Snap-in command
on the File menu of the main toolbar of MMC.

2. In the right pane, double-click Security Center.
3. In the Startup type list, click Automatic, click Apply, click Start, and
then click OK.
4. Restart the computer.
