i want users in my network beside the administrators group to just see only
inetrnet explorer whenever they log in, i´ve tried so many ways but at the
end of the day, all the restrictions apply to the users gorup as well as
admin group. all the computers are running windows xp pro. and is a work
group network.

thanks in advance.

Take a look at the free Shared Computer Toolkit from Microsoft. It requires
SP2 but is good at creating restricted users while not interfering with
administrators. It is available at the link below. There is also a newsgroup
dedicated to it that last I checked had a lot of participation from
Microsoft developers working on that project where you would want to post
specific questions about it at Microsoft.public.windows.sharedaccess. With
local Group Policy you also can try giving administrators deny permissions
to the windows\system32\group policy\users folder to keep them from getting
GP user settings but it will also prevent them from further editing GP
directly until those deny permissions are removed. Also keep in mind that
what a user sees on his desktop and start menu is the combination of what is
in their user profile and the all users profile desktop and start menu
folders. If other users are not seeing shortcuts that you want them to see
you can populate their user profile folders for desktop and start menu to
what you want them to see. --- Steve
