I don't believe Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) is part of XP Home, only included
with XP Pro.
When you ran mmc.exe and clicked Add/Remove Snap-in from the Console menu then
clicked Add, was there anything like Group Policy Editor listed? If not then you
can't use that method with XP Home.
You could try #3, even though it says it's for Office 2000 only where it says
9.0, you would expand whatever is available in your tree. For me it's 12.0. Then
delete the UserData key.
Before you make any changes to the registry, please back it up. An excellent way
to do this is to install ERUNT.
Let it add an entry to your Start menu during the install process. That will allow
ERUNT to backup your registry each time you boot. It only takes a few seconds and
has no real impact on boot time. Run ERUNT immediately after installing it to create
a full registry backup.
