Remarks

This method returns an instance of the GPO editor extension that is used for registry-based policy settings. If the readOnly parameter is set to false, you can use this instance to create, delete, modify and read registry-based policy settings for the GPO section. If the readOnly parameter is set to true, the instance can only be used to read registry-based policy settings. The GPO section is determined by whether the PolicySettings object is obtained from a ComputerConfiguration object or from a UserConfiguration object. For more information, see PolicySettings.
