Re: custom .adm

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

When you create a custom .adm file with a setting not under two specific
areas, one of which is <hklm|hkcu>\software\policies then the setting is a
preference not a policy. The GP editor, by default, is set to only display
policy settings. To see your preference setting after adding in the custom
..adm file into the GP editor.

Select the administrative node. Then right click on the administrative
template node -> view -> filtering.
Deselect (uncheck) the "only show policy settings that can be fully managed"
box.

Now your custom setting should appear in the editor.
