Richard,

What exactly do you have to do? Implementing a registry based policy,
Implementing a Group Policy Client-side Extension, etc.?

Here is an interesting reading:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/policy/policy/implementing_rsop_on_the_server.asp

I think you can create your own custom DLL (VS2005) to handle this.

BTW, this is a Microsoft note: All Windows-based applications can use the
Group Policy infrastructure to configure their policy settings. The Group
Policy application programming interface (API) is designed for use by C/C++
programmers. Familiarity with Active Directory and MMC is required.

Thanks Friedrich will have a read.

Briefly what I'm trying to do is allow users access to specific files, like
the ini file in the windows folder when the user account doesnt have write
access to the folder.

Richard,

Aha. I think what you are trying to do is to set files and folder
permissions, right?

You can use the cacls command line tool to handle this.

There will be a built-in function available in one of the next releases.
