The %systemroot%\system32\GroupPolicy folder is hidden. You will have to change your folder options to display hidden files.
David sent me the following valuable addition:
However I ran into a problem... I made the %SystemRoot%\system32\GroupPolicy\ accessable by Administrator so I could run gpedit.msc and edit the policy file and then would make the directory un-accessable by administrator once I was done. However, some policies take place as soon as you enable them, and I ended up locking myself out of the policy editor :)
If you go in Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Group Policy and end enable "Turn off background refresh of Group Policy", then reboot, it makes using local policies a little easier. It won't enable policies until the user logs back in, so you don't screw the Administrator account while logged on as it mucking around with the policies.
