To Create System Policies for Users or Computers on Windows 95

To use System Policy Editor, you must install the following files from the admin\apptools\poledit folder on the Windows 95 distribution media: admin.adm, poledit.exe, and poledit.inf. For instructions on installing System Policy Editor, see "To Install System Policy Editor on Windows 95".

1. In System Policy Editor, click the File menu, and then click New File.

2. Depending on which policies you are creating:

   • Double-click the Default User icon to define the default settings for user-specific policies.

   • Double-click the Default Computer icon to define the settings for computer-specific policies.

3. Select the policies you want to put in place.

4. Click File and then select Save.

5. Type config for the name of the policy and then click Save.

   The system policy file is saved with the .POL extension.

6. Copy the system policy file you created from the workstation to the /opt/MSPolicy directory on an authentication server. You can use the Network Neighborhood to browse for the server, and then drag the system policy files from the PC (usually in \WINDOWS\Profiles\username\Desktop\)to the /opt/MSPolicy directory on the server.
