Local Policy?

[Guest]

where is local policy settings in xp home? I don't have administrative tools
under start > all programs. And if I use mmc snapin there is no group pol to
add in. When using run-as for example, i must use a password for an admin
user or otherwise configure these settings. So where is that?
