I am gonna solve it by saving it on a alternate location grrr. I will dig into it deeper it's better anyway to not mess up the original files... Also I noticed that gpedit.msc can't handle admx files and only adm templates :X a nice one from Microsoft... am installing the group policy feature now on the 2008 vm machine.

Elevating Explorer is tricky..
