Thanks a bunch for the link, I'll read it carefully but from what I understand, I cannot set group policies from a local machine (as we could in poledit). The thing is that I would have liked not to use active directory to do this since I'm trying to use (sorry for the cursed word) Linux as a server. Thanks again mate.

I used to do things easily with poledit but now I can't achieve it with gpedit. What I want: I have users. About 400 hundreds of them. They belong to different groups. Each group should get their own desktop and startup menu but each user should also have his own home directory, using windowsXP(pro) workstations. I have no problem setting the home directory for every user. Where it hurts is that (and I might be wrong) I cannot edit group policies in gpedit.msc. There are certain options available like: (sorry for the rough translation...) computer configuration & users configuration. Nowhere does it mention group configuration. In poledit we had policies for users AND groups. Also, from what I can see, the only possible redirection of the profile is to the homedirectory (which is not what I want since I want a profile (desktop, startup menu and so on) per group instead of a profile per user. Thanks in advance. -One desperate cookie.
