They will show up under \b Administrative Templates -> Open-Shell\b0 .\par \par To edit a setting, change the policy from \b Not Configured\b0 to \b Enabled\b0 . Setting a policy to \b Disabled\b0 is not supported and has no effect.\par \par \pard\keep\keepn\widctlpar\s2\sb200\sl276\slmult1\cf2\b\f0\fs26 State\lang1033\par \pard\widctlpar\cf0\b0\f1\fs22\lang9\par Each setting has 2 components \endash state and value. The state can be:\par \b\par Locked to this value:\b0 The value you enter will be used for the setting. Users will not be able to change the setting using the Settings dialog.\par \par \b Locked to default:\b0 The setting will be locked to the default value determined by the software. The default value depends on the current OS version and configuration, current style, etc. The value you enter for the policy will be ignored.\par \par \b Unlocked:\b0 The value you enter will be used to replace the default value of the setting. The users will be able to override the setting from the Settings dialog.\par \par \pard\keep\keepn\widctlpar\s2\sb200\sl276\slmult1\cf2\b\f0\fs26 Precedence\par \pard\widctlpar\cf0\b0\f1\fs22\par There are 4 places where Open-Shell looks for settings. In order of precedence they are:\par \b HKLM\\Software\\Policies\\OpenShell\b0 \endash this is where the Computer Configuration policies are stored\par \b HKLM\\Software\\OpenShell\b0 \endash this is where you can manually store settings for all users\par \b HKCU\\Software\\Policies\\OpenShell\b0 \endash this is where the User Configuration policies are stored\par \b HKCU\\Software\\OpenShell\b0 \endash this is where the Settings dialog stores the per-user setting\par \par If a setting is locked in any of the first 3 locations, it will be grayed out in the Settings dialog and users can\rquote t change it.\par \par \par \pard\keep\keepn\widctlpar\s2\sb200\sl276\slmult1\cf2\b\f0\fs26 Localization\par \pard\widctlpar\cf0\b0\f1\fs22\par You can download translations for the group policy settings.
