You didn't say if you have Home or Pro. It doesn't come with Home. See this for possible workarounds:
gpedit.msc missing on Windows XP system
Hello,
I haven't used gpedit.msc in a while but I wanted to change the location buttons on the left side of the open and save dialog boxes,
so I tried to run gpedit.msc and it was missing. I searched the C drive but there was no sign of it.
Is there a way I can get a copy of the program and reinstall it?
Yours,
Michael F

Thanks for the workaround. I forgot that I had used it on my work system, which is XP Pro, but was just trying to use it on my home system, which is XP Home.
