Menu Show Delay using W2K Domain Policy

[Guest]

Hi , is there by any chance that i could create an adm file for the
Menushowdelay settings in (HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop) and integrate it to my
Domain GP. Currently there is no way that i could do it automatically unless
i do it manually.

Please help
Thanking you in Advance

Domain GP.

Syntax of an ADM Template.

The existing ADM files are aswell a huge source of samples.

Class user
Category "Destop"
Policy "Menu Show Delay"
Keyname "Control Panel\Desktop"
PART "Set to disired speed" NUMERIC SPIN 10
VALUENAME MenuShowDelay
DEFAULT 400
MAX 9999
MIN 10
END PART
END Policy
END CATEGORY

You don´t need to use a spin dial, you can even use a
textbos and put in the wanted value manually at time you
edit the GPO. You can aswell just work with "on" and "of"
and define a fix value, if the policy is checked to active.
It´s just a kind of layout.

Hi,

Mark , I tried the script that you give me , it doesn't work ..

What doesn´t work?
I just tested the import into poledit and gpedit and that works fine.
I can´t see your problem with it.

When i import it to the Administrative Templates and then i went into the GP
to view the policy under :-

Administrative Templates >
Desktop Menu Show Delay >
Menu Show Delay Settings

there's no policy under the "Menu Show Delay Settings" folder , it is empty.
I've used this code:-

****start code*********
CLASS USER

CATEGORY !!Desktop

CATEGORY !!MenuShowDelay
POLICY "Menu Show Delay"
KEYNAME "Control Panel\Desktop"
PART "Set to disired speed" NUMERIC SPIN 10
VALUENAME MenuShowDelay
MIN 1 MAX 9999 DEFAULT 400
END PART
END Policy
END CATEGORY

END CATEGORY

[strings]
Desktop="Desktop Menu Show Delay"
MenuShowDelay="Menu Show Delay Settings"

********end code************


am i doing something wrong..??

there's no policy under the "Menu Show Delay Settings" folder , it is empty.

It´s not a bug, it´s a feature.

| then click to clear the check mark that is beside the Show Policies Only
