The only places it is possible to have a group policy is in
HKLM\Software\Policies and HKCU\Software\Policies. If you want to change a
registry setting in any other location (as you seem to do) you have to use
ADM files to apply a preference setting. It is quite easy to do but you need
to try and understand the ADM language which takes some getting used to.
Have a read of this link to get you started:

There are also some 3rd party tools that help with ADM creation, eg
