Re: can't see some local group policy options

This is for an XP sp3 machine. I ended up just configuring the popup blocker
on the two machine accounts that will be used on the computer. I don't know
why some of the group policy options were not showing up. I never joined a
domain where policies might get applied on this computer but still I would
expect the popup blocker settings to be available on a freshly built computer.

Thanks for the post. I tried both the suggestion to change the view and
also tried reregistering the default Group Policy snap-in DLLs but I still am
not seeing some group areas policies that I see on another computer. I want
to configure the popup blocker on the local PC but I can't see the area I
need to do the configuration. I tried rebooting after I reregistered the
DLLs but that did not help.

Have you checked whether you can load and start the GPMC on another
machine and access GP from there? Is it a Vista or XP machine you're
trying from?

Cheers,
Florian
