I beleive that you are looking for the group policy editor? That is for XP
Pro, not XP home. Unfortunately, the "help" for XP does not seem to be
spcific to which version you have on the PC. I had a similar problem
looking for a non-existant option.
If you have the Pro version, look on the XP CDROM for the missing program,
or maybe a related file ending in "MSI" that would install it.
