How to create gpedit's tools in Windows Server 2003 ?

[jazzsinbad]

Hi, experts, i'm using Windows Server 2003 x32 SP1. I want to develop a gpedit's tools, it is because the given tools are too many thing and i just want to edit few of it, but i have no idea with the coding of gpedit.msc, and it is related to registry, so is it possible to write our own gpedit's tools ?

thanks...

You want to write your own Group Policy Editor? That's a tall order!

But if you have a deep enough understanding of Windows and its registry, it's all documented here

Good luck

[Edit] or did I misunderstand your question...?

I already understand the group policies concept. I want to edit the gpedit's tools, edit the root tree, there are too many, just want to delete the less not needed, but i test the gpedit.msc code already, no idea...

Maybe we are not talking the same language; is it possible that you want to create or edit Administrative Templates for gpedit? See

Hi, i think it is difficuit to create a gpedit's tools for my level now, so is it possible to edit the gpedit's tools? i'm not looking for edit the Administrative Templates, i just want to use the Windows Settings|Security Settings, so i'm looking for remove the other settings of the root tree. I just want to make the tools become simple. thanks.
