^^ Don't use registry script. Manually add the option.

Thank VG for the reply.

I input your instructions

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\Local Group Policy Editor]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\Local Group Policy Editor\command]
@="%SystemRoot%\\system32\\mmc.exe /s %SystemRoot%\\system32\\gpedit.msc"

======================
however , when i clicked the Local Group Policy Editor in Computer context menu I got this error msg.

"Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permission to access the item."

Which is strange since I am login as Admin.

^^ Open regedit and go to:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell

Create new key "Group Policy Editor". Create another new key under "Group Policy Editor" key and give it name command.

Now in right-side pane, change value of Default to:

%SystemRoot%\system32\mmc.exe /s %SystemRoot%\system32\gpedit.msc

Thank you.

^^ Open regedit and goto:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell

Under this key, you can check the icon value for any desired key.

Another question: What are the icon filenames used in the registry for: -
Computer Management
Windows Update
Event Viewer
Services
Device Manager
Programs and Features?
