    Default Custom .admx files to add search providers

    This is my first post. Please tell me if i am posting in a wrong section.
    I am trying to create Custom .admx file to add search provider "google".
    I tried to follow this link:
    How to create custom .adm or .admx files to add search providers to the toolbar search box in Internet Explorer 7
    And created a file, but when i copy my files to the local machine for testing.
    %windir%\policydefinitions and open gpedit i get the following error:

    Encountered an error while parsing. Line 2, column 38

    Here is a script that i created:
