Q. How can I install the Policy Editor on a Workstation?

A. A. The Policy editor is POLEDIT.exe and a number of .adm files. To install the Policy Editor on a workstation perform the following:

Copy POLEDIT.exe from the %systemroot% on a Windows NT Server machine to the %systemroot% folder on the Workstation.
Copy common.adm,windows.adm and winnt.adm from %systemroot%/inf on the NT Server to the %systemroot%/inf folder on the workstation
You will now be able to run the Policy Editor on a Windows NT Workstation. You may want to create a shortcut to POLEDIT.exe in your Administrative Tools folder.

There's a lot of info in Microsoft's knowledge base about profiles and policies. Here is an article to get you started: Article ID: Q185589. This article explains how policy editor works and HOW TO INSTALL it (WHERE TO FIND IT) and how to use (set policies). Article ID: Q185590: shows how policy's change diff registry keys. EVERYTHING you need to know about installing and configuring policies is in Microsofts knowledge base...I know because I have used it extensively. Have fun!
