Hello Andre:

You can copy the gpedit program to your home edition. Do this:

To use the Group Policy editor on XP Home, you need a licensed copy of
 XP Professional.

Copy the files gpedit.dll, gpedit.msc, and fde.dll from
\WINDOWS\System32 on the
 XP Pro machine to \WINDOWS\System32 on the XP Home machine.

>From a command prompt issue the following commands on the XP Home
machine:

 regsvr32 C:\WINDOWS\System32\gpedit.dll
 regsvr32 C:\WINDOWS\System32\fde.dll

 Open the Microsoft Management Console (mmc.exe) and select
 File->Add/Remove Snap-in... Then click Add. Select the Group Policy
 snap-in from the list of installed snap ins.

 You can now edit the Group Policy on the local machine. But XP Home
 doesn't support the same feature set as XP Pro, so the policies you
 are looking for might be missing.

The last part of the above procedure is important to note as not all
policies are supported in the Home Edition of XP. But you can
certainly try - nothing to lose but some time.

Regards.
