Running windows 2003 standard edition, no management console installed.

These are the group policies that i can not figure out / locate them.

-the computer must lock (not log off) if idle for more than 2 minutes

-users are allowed to change the network address of the computer

-The user's wallpaper is to have an image with the acceptable usage policy on it. This is not to be changed or deleted.

Any guide or help will be appreitated appreciated

Once installed, navigate TweakUI:

About > Policy > Run Group Policy Editor

Alternatively, you should be able to open the Group Policy Editor from command line in XP Professional (this may not work in XP Home):

gpedit.msc

Type this into the [i]Run[/i] menu or into the old DOS menu.

You can actually open the Group Policy Editor from the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) as a [i]snap in[/i]:

C:\Windows\System32\mmc.exe

(This may not be available in XP Home edition).

Create a [i]shortcut[/i] to your Programs folder. Then run [b]mmc[/b] and add the Group Policy Editor as a [i]snap-in[/i]. Thence, every time you open mmc you will see the Group Policy Editor.

Have fun.
