The user settings ( User Configuration section) are stored in %SystemRoot%\System32\GroupPolicy\User\registry.pol.The computer settings ( Computer Configuration section) are stored in %SystemRoot%\System32\GroupPolicy\Machine\registry.pol.The policy settings for the user and the computer are stored in separate POL files. Windows stores local Group Policy settings in the Registry.pol files.
