    <stringTable>
      <string id="CHECKBOXTWOTYPES_CATEGORY">Checkbox example</string>
      <string id="SAMPLE">Example 2 Policy settings</string>
      <string id="Sample_Checkbox">Sets policy setting parameter via a check box</string>
      <string id="Sample_Checkbox_Help">This is an example of a Group Policy setting that configures a parameter using a check box.

If you enable this policy setting, check box1 and check box2 will be active.
Note: Check box2 will be checked by default.

If you disable this policy setting, no check box will be active.
