I am wondering if the following two Internet Options can be set via GPO. We are running Windows 2003 AD domain with Windows XP SP2 clients

1. Internet Options, General Tab, Temporary Internet Files Frame,Settings, Amount of Disk Space to Use

2. Internet Options, Privacy, Move the cookies slider to Accept All Cookies

I have looked around and can't seem to pinpoint it.

Thank You for your help.

For #1, I had to write a custom .adm file to achieve this. In your group policy editor, you have to go to Administrative Templates, then import the ADM file. Keep in mind, however, with custom GPO settings, when you remove the setting, or set it to "unconfigured", it will NOT remove the setting.

Here's the adm file:

Code:
CLASS USER
	CATEGORY !!categoryname
		POLICY !!policyname
			KEYNAME "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Cache\Content"
			EXPLAIN !!explaintext
					VALUENAME "CacheLimit"
			        VALUEON NUMERIC 5120
	   END POLICY
		POLICY !!policyname2
			KEYNAME "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\Cache\Content"
			EXPLAIN !!explaintext
					VALUENAME "CacheLimit"
			        VALUEON NUMERIC 5120
	   END POLICY
	END CATEGORY 

categoryname="Custom IE Settings"
policyname="1-5 MB Cache Limit"
policyname2="2-5 MB Cache Limit"
explaintext="This policy forces 5 MB cache limit in Internet Explorer"

Also, see this link for more info:
