Thsi q is for win2003 DC.

How can i set the registry vale of my all my workstations to stop them from
trying to become Master browswer?

Why? Usually this (such a desire) is a sign of some other
problem....

Set: MaintainServerList = No
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ Browser\Parameters

I want to use Group policy .

Use the Computer\Administrative Templates section of the GPO for all
direct registry settings.

I know u can add a key tothe registry liek this but how do u set the value
of that key ??

Investigate ADM files, how to create and import them into a GPO.

Try a Google search like this one:

[ "extending group policy" adm | "administrative templates" ] "

Or some of these articles you will find through that search:

or you can simply run a vbscript from GP that will modify that registry key.
I think you can find some examples on Microsoft Script Center.
