where in GP is system, advanced, performance, custom

[Kelvin Beaton]

Where in the Group Policy Editor would I find Control
Panel\system\advanced\performance\custom?

I want to configure these setting and can't find them.

Any help would be appreciated

What specific settings?

My first guesses were User\Administrative Templates
or Computer\Administrative Templates

But apparently these are wrong even though I don't know what
you wish to set.

If it's not in there you can add it as an Administrative Template
via an .ADM file. (pretty much any reasonable registry setting
can be added this way.)

I want to turn on
Use drop shadows for icon lables on the desktop
Use visual styles on windows and buttons

and turn off the rest of the options.

Can you tell me more about this?

I think I downloaded the templates, but don't know how to use them.
Do I apply them to every computer of just the one I'm editing Group Policies
on?

Thanks

I'm currently working on this my self. I've wrote a quick and dirty AMD
template just for this. The registry key that stores this is at:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects

If you interested in writing your own ADM you can find some good info online
about it and in the MS Knowledgebase. One of the easiest ways to do this is
just export the reg file with the settings you have configured and run it
though a logon script.
