Account access management

[Keith G]

What is the best way to limit or hide access to things
such as some Control Panel icons that will be accessable
to a Limited Account in XP-Pro? I seem to remember
a "pick-and-choose" style of box to uncheck access to
different areas within the PC...being specific about
things like Control Panel.

You're referring to the Group Policy Editor. However, in a non-domain environment, settings are applied to all users, not just the ones you want. See www.dougknox.com, Win XP Utilities, Windows XP Security Console for a utility that will allow you to apply many of the Group Policy settings on a per-user basis.
