There are many settings in the registry, and multiple registry settings must often be manipulated to achieve a particular result. The System Policies feature provides a layer of abstraction that makes it easier to control registry settings.
Instead of changing individual registry settings, a system administrator can specify policies. Each policy has some text that describes its effect. Some examples of policies follow:
·Disable file sharing.
·Display a custom logon banner.
·Remove the Run command from the Start menu.
·Use user-level security.
