Group policy in a workgroup is not really group policy, it's machine
policy and applies to all accounts including admins.

Better to use the registry keys with Doug Knox's utility or go to
www.winguides.com to learn more about the security registry keys that
control these settings.

Of course, when you restrict the kids from changing the wallpaper, they
will start deleting the shortcuts and when you fix that, they'll find
something else to change. You can't stop them.
