SYMPTOMS
When you use the Shellm.adm template file from the Windows 98 CD-ROM to create a policy file, the Start menu policies may not take effect.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because of a problem with the Shellm.adm file.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue:  Change the order of the following lines contained near the end of the "CATEGORY !!StartMenu" section of the Shellm.adm file

from

KEYNAME Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies

PART !!MemCheckBoxInRunDlg CHECKBOX

to:

PART !!MemCheckBoxInRunDlg CHECKBOX

KEYNAME Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies

 Save and close the Shell.adm file. Re-create the policy using the new copy of the Shellm.adm file.



MORE INFORMATION
The Shellm.adm file is located in the Tools\Reskit\Netadmin\Poledit folder on the Windows 98 CD-ROM. If Poledit.exe has been installed, it is also located in the Windows\Inf folder on your hard disk.
