hi, i created a custom ADM file (plus copied from Steven Geary) and for
some reason it's not appearing correctly in my test gpo. i have also
checked the keynames against my registry and they exists. here is the
code:

CLASS MACHINE

CATEGORY !!category

CATEGORY !!categoryname

POLICY !!policynameusb

KEYNAME "SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\USBSTOR"
EXPLAIN !!explaintextusb
PART !!labeltextusb DROPDOWNLIST REQUIRED
VALUENAME "Start"
ITEMLIST
NAME !!Disabled VALUE NUMERIC 3 DEFAULT
NAME !!Enabled VALUE NUMERIC 4
END ITEMLIST
END PART

END POLICY

POLICY !!policynamecd

KEYNAME "SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdrom"
EXPLAIN !!explaintextcd
PART !!labeltextcd DROPDOWNLIST REQUIRED
VALUENAME "Start"
ITEMLIST
NAME !!Disabled VALUE NUMERIC 1 DEFAULT
NAME !!Enabled VALUE NUMERIC 4
END ITEMLIST
END PART

END POLICY

POLICY !!policynameflpy

KEYNAME "SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Flpydisk"
EXPLAIN !!explaintextflpy
PART !!labeltextflpy DROPDOWNLIST REQUIRED
VALUENAME "Start"
ITEMLIST
NAME !!Disabled VALUE NUMERIC 3 DEFAULT
NAME !!Enabled VALUE NUMERIC 4
END ITEMLIST
END PART

END POLICY

END CATEGORY

END CATEGORY

[strings]
category="Custom Policy Settings"
categoryname="Restrict Drives"
policynameusb="Disable USB"
policynamecd="Disable CD-ROM"
policynameflpy="Disable Floppy"
explaintextusb="Disables the computers USB ports by disabling the
usbstor.sys driver"
explaintextcd="Disables the computers CD-ROM Drive by disabling the
cdrom.sys driver"
explaintextflpy="Disables the computers Floppy Drive by disabling the
flpydisk.sys driver"
labeltextusb="Disable USB Ports"
labeltextcd="Disable CD-ROM Drive"
labeltextflpy="Disable Floppy Drive"
Enabled="Enabled"
Disabled="Disabled"

I had the same sort of problem with a template I created. I resolved it by
clicking on the "View" menu in your GPO editor, select filter and remove the
tick from "Only show policy settings that can be fully managed"

Drove me nuts for a couple of hours untill I found this option.

Hopefully its will be the same for you
