[Samba] WinXP profiles - NetHood problem

[Paul Miller]

Alright.  How can I force this on all computers without having to go to
each computer individually and make these changes?  I found this option in
the group policy editor, but I don't know how to save the policies to use
elsewhere.  The option doesn't show up in the system policy editor that
comes with office xp.
Thanks,
-Paul
