NoteHKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Group Policy\
The Group Policy subkey contains a subkey representing each of the client-side extensions used to create settings in Group Policy. These <Class-ID> subkeys are named for the class-ID of the extension, and store entries that apply only to Group Policies which use that client-side extension.
These subkeys store the settings of the policy-processing policies in the Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Group Policy folder in Group Policy.
The following table shows the <Class-ID> subkeys and the corresponding client-side extension:
| Class ID | Policy component |
|---|---|
| {25537BA6-77A8-11D2-9B6C-0000F8080861} | Folder Redirection policy |
| {35378EAC-683F-11D2-A89A-00C04FBBCFA2} | Registry policy |
| {3610EDA5-77EF-11D2-8DC5-00C04FA31A66} | Disk Quota policy |
| {42B5FAAE-6536-11D2-AE5A-0000F87571E3} | Scripts policy |

Note
The <Class-ID> subkey is a variable representing the subkeys under the Group Policy subkey. It does not actually appear in the registry. This variable subkey is used to display information which is common to the subkeys in the Group Policy subkey.
Some policies do not support the features that can be configured by entries in a <Class-ID> subkey. For a list of client-side extensions that support each entry, see the entry description.
Tip
For detailed information about particular Group Policy settings, see the Group Policy Reference (Gp.chm) on the Windows 2000 Resource Kit companion CD.
