Outlook Security no Reg Key

I am trying to install and configure the Admpack.exe application to better
manage security alerts. Everything goes well until I try to modify the
registry key.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOftware\Policies\Microsoft\Security

as per the instructions at slipstick.

However there is no \Security item at this level on any of the client
machines I have looked at. I have looked at XP Pro and Win98. Am I missing
something.

Do I need to create the \Security somehow? I don't poke at the registry
very often.

Yes, you need to create that key.
