Cannot re-enable Control Panel Display Applet

At some point I restricted users from accessing the Display Applet. When they
"right-click" on the desktop and choose properties it says "Your System
Administrator Disabled the Display Control Panel". I want to change this back
to allow users access but I cannot. On the server, I go to User
Configuration\Administrative Templates\Control Panel\Display and it says that
DISABLE DISPLAY IN CONTROL PANEL IS not configured. I don't recall where I
was when I made the change. Perhaps I am looking in the wrong place.
 
Hi

Run a gpresult /z (for windows xp) or gpresult /v (for windows 2000) and
have a look at the output to determine where the setting is coming from.
You may be looking at the wrong GPO.

Kind regards

Please note you'll need to strip ".online" from my email address to email
me; I'll post a response back to the group.

Thanks man! That was it, I had applied the policy from a different server.
Why I did that is another question! Thanks.
