Policy Plus - Find by ID

Online instructions frequently say to navigate through a moderately long path in the Group Policy category structure and then hunt down a specific policy. Policies and categories already have unique IDs (an internal name qualified by the ADMX's target namespace), so it would be expedient to refer to objects by those names.

Today I added a Find by ID option that works on categories and policies. Pressing Ctrl+G or picking the appropriate menu item brings up a small window where the desired object's ID can be typed or pasted in. It even has a little picture on the left that changes into a folder or page depending on whether the ID is for a category or policy.


I may extend this dialog to work for products as well once I get a browser for those.
