Help with group policy ADM file

[Slim]

I created a ADM file that enables the search pane. contents below

It works in the sense that it sets the values in the registry, I have set it
so that if the option is checked or unchanged the value is 1.

If I check the option manually or unchanged it manually I get the desired
result, it is set on no matter the selection. But until I try to change the
setting it has no effect.

How can force IE7 to read settings without manually doing anything
