Thank you so much for this answer!!!! I talked to five people at Dell’s tech support and was on hold for a very long time hoping for answer to this problem. While on hold I found your answer via google.

Found the solution to my previously mentioned problem.

I had changed the path in the TMP environment variable to C:\TEMP, but did not create the directory. When the group policy editor runs it creates an xml file at the location specified in the variable. If it cannot create the temporary file it fails to display many of the features.

Template files on a computer I am working on setting up magically went missing and this method restored them perfectly.

Does anyone have any idea why they went missing?

I used a fresh install of XP, with a gui assisted unattended install and then ran all of the windows updates, and missing dell drivers.

Any insight into the source of the problem would be appreciated
