Hi.

I need to further limit the user accounts on a number of XP machines.
Something in the lines of GP would be nice but I think that can be done only
in domain environment? Anyways my questions is what are my options.

I am looking for ways to lock the desktop, user preferences/customization etc.

Thank you,
Tarmo

XP Home, or Pro? Home is fairly crippled and I don't believe you can use
group policy in it. With Pro, go to start | run, type gpedit.msc, and away
you go.

Be careful you don't lock yourself out of anything!
 
Thanks for reply.

Its XP Pro. However If I change user configuration doesn't that affect just
the currently logged on user? how to assign policy to another account? I am
prolly just missing something simple here. Also I bet once I compile the kind
of setup I want for a user I can export it to a file and import on another
computer?

Thanks
