This is kind of overstating the case. (to put it mildly)

The only thing you have to do is drag the poliy editor of of the 490 or
950 build disk and put it where everyou installed the old plicy editor. 
When you install the newer builds of Win95 the policy editor doesn't get
updated that's all.  YOu don't have to install it three times or buy a new
machine, just drag the executable into place and let it copy over the old
one.  probably safer to re-copy the whole directory.
