To run System Policy Editor

If you want to use group policies, you must install that capability on each computer running Windows 95, either when you install Windows 95 using a custom setup script, or by using the Add/Remove Programs option in Control Panel.

To set up capabilities for group policies using Add/Remove Programs

  1. In the Add/Remove Programs option in Control Panel, click the Windows Setup tab, and then click Have Disk button.
  2. In the Install From Disk dialog box, click Browse and specify the ADMIN\APPTOOLS\POLEDIT directory on the Windows 95 compact disc. Click OK, and then click OK again.
  3. In the Have Disk dialog box, make sure Group Policies is checked, and then click the Install button.

Windows 95 Setup places GROUPPOL.DLL in the Windows SYSTEM directory on the client computer and makes the required Registry changes.

For information about adding the ability to use group policies when installing Windows 95 using custom setup scripts, see Chapter 5, "Custom, Automated, and Push Installations."
