Boy, you're right about all policies not being supported!!!
I copied my gpedit, etc. from my office computer with xp pro to my
home computer with xp home edition, per your instructions, and about
the only thing I can manipulate is Windows Explorer.
My main reason for wanting to do this was to control the recent
documents menu on the start menu. I successfully eliminated the recent
documents menu from my start menus on two computers at work with xp
pro, and there are tons of other options I could have gone with, too.
The home gpedit program is limited beyond use. Oh well, you said it
would happen.
Thanks anyway,
GS
