Im trying to make a custom ADM to modify a regkey. I want to change
everyones registry to NOT allow IE to reuse a window for shortcuts.

CURRENT USER\software\microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main

AllowWindowReuse =
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've created this ADM from what I've gleaned off the internet:

---code-----

CLASS USER
CATEGORY !!IEReuseWindows
KEYNAME "Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main"
POLICY !!IEReuseWindowsPolicy
EXPLAIN !!IEReuseWindowsPolicy_Explain
VALUENAME "AllowWindowReuse"
VALUEON NUMERIC 1
VALUEOFF NUMERIC 0

END POLICY

END CATEGORY


[strings]
IEReuseWindows="IE Custom Settings"
IEReuseWindowsPolicy="Reuse Windows for Launching Shortcuts"
IEReuseWindowsPolicy_Explain="Enable this setting to allow the reuse
of windows for launching shortcuts"

---endcode----


I can import it into GPO just fine and enable or disable, but it doesnt
take effect. Is there a glaring oversight on my part? Can anyone help shed
some light on this?


Thanks in advance,

Wrong Keyname, create a preference:
Keyname "software\microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main"

View -> Filter -> check "... only fully managed"
