When running gpedit.msc, I'm getting these errors:

Snap-in Creation Failed.
The snap-in is not created, it may not be installed properly.
Name: Group Policy

More information, I've lost my connection to the domain. This
happened because I went and right clicked on the HDD with
the OS installation, then clicked on Security Tab, then removed
all the listed users and reinstalled the appropriate users, and
then told it to apply the changes. Since that, I've lost my Quick
Launch, lost my connection to the domain, and I can not start
the Group Policy thing. Although, the Group Policy thing might
have been a previously existing problem.

Some other information: This was a problem before I reconfigured
permissions on the hard drive, and some other problems started to
occur which I'm having a hard time understanding what's going on,
but it seems like Microsoft has introduced a ton of NEW bugs with
their fixes that have been applied after November of 2003.

For a couple years I didn't have to do much to maintain the system
and things worked, then November of 2003 hit. <g> Nothing has
been the same since.

Does anyone know the registry key used to set the Quick Launch
location?
