        <p>Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
        <p>Only Denis knows the exact details, but I expect that all he
          did was to have a French version of Windows, installed RSAT,
          opened the group policy editor and created a new GPO of that
          name (and copied the resulting file from the sysvol).<o:p></o:p></p>
        <p>Cheers,<o:p></o:p></p>
