Missing things in Windows XP GPO for Active Directory

[Net Admin]

Hi,
I am running win xp pro in a win2k domain with Active Directory. I have
noticed that if I use group policy on my PC then certain elements are
missing, which all seem to be snap-in extension. The following are missing

Policy - User Configuration - Windows Settings:
Scripts,
Folder Redirection,
Security Settings and,
Internet Explorer Maintenance.

They are visible on any win2k pc, just not the xp box.

Does anyone have any idea how to get these back. None of the microsoft
articles seem to point to XP and the nearest I have come across is Q271135
but it doesn't work.

It may be a bad install but It seems as if something is restricted somehow!

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks,
Wes

You'll need to (re?)register these (using regsvr32):

gptext.dll
certmgr.dll
fde.dll
wsecedit.dll

Have a look at this for more info.:

Hello again. I looked for this file and it does not exist in
Windows/system32. Any idea where it should be?

Yes, I believe that was wrong. You want fde.dll
