Hi,
I'm trying to manage som Windows Explorer settings by use of a custom build
GP Adm. template.
The registry receives the settings from til template but the changes does
not take affect. I have forced the policy by gpupdate and logout/login -
even tried restarting. But without any luck.
Then template is applied in the registry in :
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Group Policy
Objects\LokalUser\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\Advance
d\Hidden
and in the same key for the active user.
The key is the same place where settings from Windows own adm. template to
manage certain file explorer properties (and the DO apply).
Here's a cut from my template:
CLASS USER
CATEGORY "Windows File Explorer folder settings etc."
POLICY "Show hidden files and folders"
KEYNAME
"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\Advanced"
EXPLAIN "Apply this policy to have explorer show hidden files and folders"
VALUENAME "Hidden"
VALUEON NUMERIC 1
VALUEOFF NUMERIC 2
END POLICY
END CATEGORY
Activating the policy creates the registry key mentioned above, and setting
the policy not configured deletes the registry key again - so that OK.
The only thing i can think of that would prevent the settings from applying
(working) is that they aren't managable from a GP Adm. template ?
Any ideas would be much appriciated....
