Setting user privlileges

[Gerry]

I have the defaullt "Administrator" account and created
a "user" account. I log in as "user" and run gpedit.msc.
I then strip down access to the computer for this account.
What I don't understand however is when I log in
as "Administrator" I find that my settings also applied to
this account. How can I apply these "stripped down"
settings for security purposes for just the user account
only?

Greetings:

Log in as Administrator and apply settings in User Configuration
some settings applied in Machine Configuration also apply to Administrator.

Hope this helps......

If you're not using active directory, group policies will apply to all user accounts on a local machine. See this KB for info on a workaround

Also see www.dougknox.com, Win XP Utilities, Windows XP Security Console. This utility will allow you to apply a large number of group policy restrictions on a per-user basis.
