You should place the poledit executable on a distinct share or even
netlogon, and make that share readable to all but writeable to admin only.
You can also set "hide unreadable=yes" for the share and give it a 700
perm.
Then, logon as domain admin on a sample pc with 2K as os. You will find
the adm template(s) in its windows tree - probably in the inf folder - so
you can start working on it. Save the resulting (nt)config.pol on the
netlogon share.

... thnx but it is not a matter of the location where the program is residing
... it does not want to start with the XP adm files it just freezes .. I got
the advice to edit the XP adm files and to remove all stuff that reads "GP
only .." or something along those lines or even better just compare XP & W2K
adm files for collating syntax ..

Hmm ... now since it's a rather long time ago, I don't exactly remember if
I used the w2k adm templates or some from XP. However - w2k templates will
work for XP also, so get a 2K.
But then, there are some different versions of poledit - did you really
get yours from a 2K server cd? That version should be able to load 2 or 3
templates at once and merge them.
Also, loading the templates sometimes takes a long time, during which the
program appears to be frozen. Take patience ...
