Can anyone explain what changed this group policy?

Servers: mainly W2K SP4 - Mixed Mode
Clients: W2K SP4

After working with a new group policy for over a week, I
tried to load it yesterday and received truncation
errors. After clicking "OK" over 30 times to see what had
changed, I noticed an entirely new section to the policy
for IE. I have placed the policy in preference mode
before, but never saw these options. For example, in one
of the sections I can choose is to block pop-ups. After
examining other policies in the domain, this is the only
one with the IE changes.

My question is what caused the changes in the policy and
how could I stop it from happening again?

Just found this:

From the article:
After you patch those machines, however, you still have a
small problem: How can you "upgrade" existing GPOs to
contain the XP SP2 .adm templates? One way is to open each
and every GPO from an XP SP2 machine.

So, someone does have XP SP2 and opened the GPO which
modified it?

If this is right, it's time for me to look for a GPO
restore white paper.
