Hello all,

I'm trying to manually "lock down" a limited WinXP Pro users account.
I need to know how to apply the following restrictions in the Registry
(or some other method):

No Control Panel
No Right-clicking on desktop
Cannot alter desktop in any way (i.e. no display settings)
No "Run" command
Cannot change computer clock
Force classic start menu

Thanks.
