I got win2k running on Vmware. It's so i can experiment with nt policies at home in my holiday. I managed to get win2k using local nt policy using the update regkey set to 2(manual), and once i'd gotten the right version of poledit and got the policy file in the right place.

I created a 'normal user' with some security set and it worked.

but something's gone wrong, logged on as administrator, whenever i open poledit, whatever i go into, local registry, my poledit file. there's no options in the policy bit. it's empty. winnt.adm and common.adm are still in c:\winnt\inf

it's a bit of a mystery. any ideas please.

and it's mysteriously fixed itself.
all i think i did was move an admin.adm file that was in the poledit dir to c:\winnt\inf and add it into poledit and now it works again. i'm sure i didnt have that loaded b4 ??
