Now can somebody answer my Vista question - for these registry changes that don't exist as group policy settings, does anyone have an example .admx file to implement one? Or cook-book style documentation for same?
I've been googling until my fingers bled and not found any. I found a blog that talked about the .adm files and promised to further blog about doing the same in .admx files, but that was over a year ago and nothing yet. I also googled for reg2admx - nobody's done that trick yet.
