Systems Management

It's been a long time, but the policy name must precede the keyname:


CLASS USER
CATEGORY "Custom Template"
CATEGORY "Status of Stickies"
POLICY "Turned on"
KEYNAME "Control Panel\Accessibility\StickyKeys"
VALUENAME "Flags"
VALUEON "506"
END POLICY
END CATEGORY; "Status of Stickies"
END CATEGORY; "Custom Template"


Where is the registry setting that controls it?

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Accessibility\StickyKeys\Flags="506"

Tough... Custom .adm templates do not work for "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel".

Tough... Custom .adm templates do not work for "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel". hmmmm, I've never heard this before.

If you do a little google search, there are plenty of websites that suggest creating .adm templates for HKCU\Control Panel.

I might be doing something wrong, but whenever I try to apply custom ADM to HKCU\Control Panel, I receive the following error message:

ID: 1020
Windows cannot create registry key Control Panel\whatever. (The parameter is incorrect. ).


To webbaldo:
You could try the following template - you might have a better luck than myself. And it's not a policy - it's a preference template.


=== custom.adm ===
CLASS USER
CATEGORY "Custom Template"
CATEGORY "Status of Stickies"
KEYNAME "Control Panel\Accessibility\StickyKeys"
POLICY "Turned on"
VALUENAME "Flags"
VALUEON "506"
VALUEOFF DELETE
END POLICY
END CATEGORY; "Status of Stickies"
END CATEGORY; "Custom Template"

The above template doesn't work for me can anyone explain what I need to change to make it work?

Many thanks

Hi thanks for that. When I add the policy and check it in GPO Editor it says there are no items to show. Have I got the right keyname? Sorry for my lack of knowledge, I've just started my training :)

Might be abit late but when you run up gpedit goto Status of Stickies policy under
User Configuration/Administative templates
It won't show anything YET.
Right click in the white box right hand side, Select View Filtered. Take the check out of "Only show policy settings that can be fully managed",
then go back to the same place and you have the options.

Oh and take the quotes off the VALUENAME "Flags"
Quotes for that only work if it has spaces from my testing.
