I can not access the "group policy editor".

When I choose start/run/gpedit.msc I get an "Red X dialog
box" "Windows can not find 'gpedit.msc'. Make sure you
typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search
for a file click the start button, and then search." A
search on my hard drive does not find gpedit.msc. Advance
search options selected, search system folders, search
hidden files and folders & search subfolders are all
selected.

How do you re-install the group policy editor in xp home
sp2?
