There are several problems with that technique.

1. Your computer may have a dozen policy files.  You have to make sure
you edit the correct one.

2. You can't very well ask others to fiddle their policy files.  Most
users don't even know what a file or text editor is.

3. Others in corporate environments are not permitted to modify their
policy files. That is the sole responsibility of the IT department.

One of the most useful comments you can put in a program is 
"If you change this, remember to change ?XXX? too".
