I have 95 & 98 workstations which get policies from an NT 4 server.

I am in need of a way to put poledit onto a diskette so I can run it from disk instead of installing it on a workstation to use it.

Is there a way to do this (install poledit to a diskette so it can be run directly from the floppy disk instead of having to install it?) I've tried copying the files to disk but it keeps giving me error messages I have been unable to get around.

I am not sure if it is possible, but if so it would involve some changing of the registry. That is why you are getting the error message. I am by far no expert on the registry, but you need something in it, the registry, to point to the floppy.

I got it to work on 95 and NT. Copy these files to disk.

poledit.cnt
poledit.hlp
poledit.exe
windows.adm
common.adm
winnt.adm

You do need to edit the registry though. No way around this. Edit:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\PolEdit

change 'template0' to reflect a:
change 'template1' to reflect a:

Same keys for 95/NT.

Hope this helps,

Haven't worked on 95 in while but I believe you can select the template being used in the program under options. This may be stored in the registry but should be quicker then editing the registry on every machine you run it on. You can also put it on a share and run it from there.
