You just have to append the Microsoft Console extension, .msc to the command:

In the run box you'd type gpedit.msc and hit enter/click ok.

One word of note is that this command won't fly in the Home version of XP.

From QNAP's own website comparison tool, the only differences apparent between the versions of the TS-109 are that the Pro supports NFS (Linux client) and Microsoft Active Directory. The pricing difference at the time of this comment from Newegg's retail site was that the Pro was an additional $45.00 US. As far as everything else goes, features, speeds and feeds all are the same. I was considering buying this device, but I am put off by the stated internal storage maximum of 1TB; I can't ascertain whether the statement is the true maximum drive size usable by the product or whether it was merely a case of the largest size currently available at the time they published their specs. One of the only reasons why I would pay so much for a NAS device sans the actual storage would be so that as drive capacities increase, I could simply upgrade the drive I chose to install within the enclosure. If there really is a ceiling on the internal drive storage size usable, then this relegates the device to something disposable, in which case it would be far too expensive.

I've had this drive for about a month now and agree with the author's assessment of the drive. It reads wonderfully fast, and seems a bit pokey on the writing of large files. This doesn't overly concern me, since I keep all my utilities, service packs, hotfixes etc. on this drive, it was really a matter of writing once to it and then it's my super portable tool kit. It's read to write usage ratio is probably around 50:1 16GB on a USB key for ~$125 is awesome. I'm thinking of reconfiguring it to be bootable with a customized BartPE load.

Anything with enough juice to heat a seat and dry my undercarriage does not need to be within inches of both my privates and a hopper full of liquid; especially when it intends to coat said undercarriage with a nice spritz of water just to improve conductivity.
