Group Policies and Security

[Guest]

I want to know if I create a limited user account in Win XP Pro, and want
that user to restrict C: drive and CD-ROM drive and some other restrictions.
Then how it can be done? Withou implementing the same restrictions on the
administrators' accounts?
If imply a policy it is implemented on all the users!
How it can be implemented on a particular user?

Keep in mind that this only works for the User Configuration
branch of the Local Group Policy.
