I am trying to set some custom registry keys on a few workstations, but
I have been unsuccessful in creating a custom administrative template.
Every time I import my template, I can see the category but nothing
else. Here is my custom administrative template. Can anyone see what
is wrong? This template is to set the user's default home page for IE.

-----------------------------------------------------
CLASS USER

CATEGORY !!HomePageTitle

KEYNAME "Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main"
POLICY !!HomePage
EXPLAIN !!HomePageExplain

PART !!HomePagePrompt EDITTEXT
VALUENAME "Start Page"
END PART

END POLICY

END CATEGORY

[strings]
HomePageTitle="Custom Home Page"
HomePage="Default Home Page"
HomePageExplain="This will set the users default home page"
HomePagePrompt="URL "

Dave,

You need to turn off the Full Managed Filter in the GP Editor.
In GP Editor, focus on "Administrative Templates", Select View from the
menu, then Filtering..., then uncheck the "Only show policy settings that
can be fully manged".

You should see your item immediately.

Dennis Arvidson.
