Yes, I can hack registry and replace that Place(n) value of REG_SZ type

Network" icon in the "My Network Places" filelist.


But "WindowsXP Group Policy Editor" seems to accept only strings there.

Correct. AFAIK, the "WindowsXP Group Policy Editor" creates REG_SZ type
entries only within that key and does not take advantage of REG_DWORD
or REG_EXPAND_SZ.

I would like to know what is the mnemonic-constant/file-path in
"WindowsXP Group Policy Editor" to be entered, so that "Entire
Network" icon will also be visible in the "My Network Places" filelist
among other items?

No way - you may want to use "TweakUI" instead.

TweakUI > Common Dialogs > Places Bar.
