Open your GPO for editing. Right click on the User Settings / Administrative Templates folder, choose View -> Filtering. Uncheck the box that says “Only show policy settings that can be fully managed”, then click OK. Assuming this was imported correctly, you should now see the setting. Hope that helps.

This does not seem to work, after importing .adm file there is no settings displayed under User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Windows Explorer

Great! Thanks. I have also modified the .adm file code (the extension should be .adm not .vbs btw) to allow for just disabling the ‘Restore’ button within Previous Versions Tab, which is what we wanted:

CATEGORY “Windows Explorer”
POLICY “Disable Previous Versions Restore Button”
EXPLAIN !!PVRBHelp
KEYNAME “SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer”
VALUENAME “NoPreviousVersionsRestore”
VALUEON NUMERIC 1
VALUEOFF NUMERIC 0
END POLICY

POLICY “Disable Previous Versions Tab”
EXPLAIN !!PVHelp
KEYNAME “SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer”
VALUENAME “NoPreviousVersionsPage”
VALUEON NUMERIC 1
VALUEOFF NUMERIC 0
END POLICY
END CATEGORY ;Windows Explorer

[strings]
PVRBHelp=…. etc
PVHelp=… etc
