How do I make Policy changes only apply to the Users Group?

[Toering]

I am setting up a computer for use as a Law Library in the County Jail.
As such I need to lock down the user accounts, but still be able to log
in as admin and update the programs they will be using. The computer is
not on the domain, and will never be on the domain for obvious reasons.
The system doesn't even have a NIC in it. I have been looking through
the forums here and seen a lot of questions about this, but not many
answers. I am running Windows XP Pro on the system and think a Kiosk
mode for the users would be best as they only need access to two apps.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have a look at the Microsoft Windows XP Shared Computer Toolkit - maybe
this is what you need:
