Group Policy Editor in XP Home?

I have two computers, one is running MCE 2005 and the other is Windows XP
Home. On the MCE computer I can run gpedit.msc to configure a program to
run at shutdown.

When I try to run gpedit.msc on the XP Home machine it can't find the
program. going into mmc and trying to add the snap-in also does not find
this program.

Is gpedit.msc not a part of XP Home? Can I copy it from my MCE machine to
the XP Home box and run it? Is there another way in XP Home to run a
program automatically at shutdown?

I'm running pagefile.exe to give me a log of pagefile sizes so I can
accurately set my pagefiles up.

Thanks
