Turn off automatic update of ADM files

Requirements: At least Microsoft Windows 2000

Location: User Configuration\System\Group Policy\


Description:
Prevents the system from updating the Administrative Templates source files automatically when you open Group Policy.

By default, when you start Group Policy, the system loads the most recently revised copies of the Administrative Templates source files (.adm) that it finds in the %Systemroot%\inf directory. The .adm files create the list of settings that appear under Administrative Templates in Group Policy.

If you enable this setting, the system loads the .adm files you used the last time you ran Group Policy. Thereafter, you must update the .adm files manually.

Note

ADM File: system.adm
