I've found at least four different ways to start a policy editor. Can anyone
explain the difference?

(1) in Control Panel, we have "Domain Controller Security Policy";
(2) also in Control Panel, we have "Domain Secury Policy";
(3) Documents say type "gpedit.msc" in a Command Prompt.
(4) Win2k3 online help has this link to start what it call "Local Security
Settings":
ms-its:C:\WINDOWS\Help\audit.chm::/EXEC=,secpol.msc CHM-UAShared.chm
FILE=alt_url_windows_component.htm. This is I think the same as type
"secpol.msc" in Command Prompt.

Thanks!!
